SheetNest 1.1.3

SheetNest 1.1.3

A classic industrial look, projects that own their stock, and a portrait report. Free sheet metal nesting software with a clean shop-floor Windows look.

Look & feel

• Classic Windows look across the whole app: gray 3D buttons, square corners, Tahoma, classic scrollbars, tabs and menus. Values shown in classic navy; no more greens.
• Parts shown in aluminum gray — in the nest viewer, the part thumbnails and the PDF report — like the real material on the table.
• The nest report PDF is now portrait, restyled to match: a single-column summary page (MATERIAL REQUIRED, JOB SUMMARY, CUTTING PLAN, PART TOTALS) and full-width layout drawings with the parts list underneath.
• Nest navigation labeled the shop way: Nest 1/2 (30) — layout 1 of 2, cut 30 times — with job totals in the status bar and nothing drawn over the plot.

Panels & stock

• Always-visible Available N/N counters: each sheet size shows sheets still available / total (31/31 → 3/31 after a nest), and each part shows copies left to nest / requested. Live before, during and after a nest; Clear Result restores them.
• Clean shop-floor rows: sheets read 120 × 60 with their Available cell and ✎/✕; every quantity and size is edited through its dialog (✎ or double-click) — no inline spinners.
• Stock travels with the job: the app starts with an empty Sheets tab, and each saved .dnest carries its own sheet stock along with its nest result. A nest you never saved never costs you sheets.

Projects

• Save and reopen works as introduced in 1.1.2 (the .dnest stores the on-screen nest); closing, New and Open all offer to save first, via a Save dialog pre-filled with the project's own name.
• The window title shows the clean 3-field version.
