Nest Print Settings - Overlay Font
« on: Jul 12, 2023, 12:39:43 PM »
I am having a weird issue in CAMduct 2023, when setting up what we want our nest sheet to show, i am losing my Overlay Font setting, it keeps going back to Barcode after i change it. The weirder thing is that our CAM machine is not having this issue, but my machine and another guys machine will not hold this setting. Is there a place i can just 'hardcode' this in in a hidden text file? Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks!

I had a similar issue. label/report settings changing for seemingly no reason.
I eventually discovered it was because I was using processes to nest and write NC.
Even though I wasn't printing anything from the processes, it was still changing the print settings. To fix it I had to enable printing reports from the process, change the settings to match my standards, then disable printing.
After I got that done the issue was resolved.

Did you ever resolve this issue?  I am having the same problem now and the fix above didnt work for me.

This feels like one of those things that Autodesk disabled/changed the location of and never removed. Similar to the male and female Roller allowances in seams.  I believe this is controlled by the Print Layout > Labels > Nest Labels and no longer Print Layout > Nests.

Look for the folder where your configuration's MAP.INI resides. If there a file named "NSTPRINT.PMD" delete it and re-setup your printer.

May or may not help. But anytime I've had weird unexplained print issues in CAM or EST like random crashes during printing or printer properties not sticking, it's usually a result of a corrupt PMD file.
