Tusyndon Drawing Nester
Creo Drawing Nesting and Batch Plotting Software
Designed for batch output of Creo Parametric drawings, Drawing Nester organizes multiple drawings into optimized layouts for large-format sheets or roll paper and generates a manageable plotting queue.
Product demo: 4:33 · Environment: Creo Parametric
Creo drawing workflow
Organized around drawing lists, sheet sizes, and layout constraints
Large-format / roll paper
Supports fixed-sheet and roll-paper layouts
Batch output management
Generates a plot queue and retains output result information
Benefits
Designed for batch drawing output
Drawing Nester streamlines the full workflow—from drawing preparation and nesting to controlled batch output.
Reduce manual layout work
Process drawing lists in batches instead of positioning and reorganizing sheets individually.
Optimize paper usage
Create layouts based on sheet size, paper specs, roll width, spacing, and other constraints.
Keep output controlled
Keep layout results, plot queues, and output records within a single engineering workflow.
Capabilities
Core capabilities
The screenshots below are from the actual Drawing Nester product, demonstrating precheck, nesting, and batch output within the Creo workflow.
01 · PRELIMINARY DRAWING REVIEW
Drawing pre-check
Review the drawing list and issues requiring confirmation before nesting begins.
- Identify drawing and sheet size information
- Centralize drawings requiring attention
- Define a clear input set for nesting
02 · AUTOMATIC NESTING
Automatic nesting
Generate layout plans from paper specifications, roll width, drawing spacing, and other constraints.
- Support large-format sheets and roll paper
- Review drawing position, orientation, and plan information
- View utilization and layout result details
03 · BATCH OUTPUT
Batch output
Move approved layouts to the output workflow while preserving job and execution details.
- Create a manageable plotting queue
- Check job execution status
- Keep output records and exception details
