We just finished a huge project 230' riverboat, which I modeled in Solidworks and nested in autocad.  The nesting side is very time consuming!!!  I am looking for a souliton to minimize nesting times.  

I used Sigmanest a few years ago and decided to try a demo of V9.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improt sketches from the part file into Sigmanest?  Is there a better solution. 

If I have to recreate all of the markings and notes in sigmanest,  I really do not see any time savings.  Any help suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Chris
