Pierce Point Is Inconsistent Between Nest and Part Label
« on: Nov 17, 2025, 19:02:28 PM »
For some reason or another, the pierce points have been completely different between the nest label and ensuing part labels for a while now.

Can anyone help me figure out why two pierce points are generated each time in complete opposition to one another for the nesting and the individual part?

-SOLVED-

At the end of the day, I am trying to make the circles match up so that the shop isn't guessing on the orientation of each piece when they go to break and fit them up.

I had a chat with the Autodesk robo service assistant. It ended up telling me,

I can help get the nesting page and part labels aligned. It sounds like the origin/preset points for the machine are incorrect, so parts and piece points shift between nesting and NC. To keep parts and labels in the expected locations, update the machine's preset points: Click File > Setup > Installed Machines. Select the Machine in use and click Setup... On the Machine tab set the Preset Points (Origin, Home Point, Start Point) to the upper-right corner (or the corner you use for nesting). Click OK to close the Machine Editor, then OK to close Installed Machines. After making this change, re-nest the parts so the new preset points take effect. If labels/order still differ, also check the NC Part Ordering: File > Setup > Installed Machines > select machine > Setup... > NC Settings tab, and in Part Ordering set Method to “Label Application: Part” then re-nest. That should correct piece point placement and label order on the printed nesting page.

The last part about changing the NC Part Ordering to "Label Application: Part" seems to have fixed my issue for now.
