PEPS Nesting Parts and Trimming End of Tube

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/301947.html
In Example 4, four Parts were to be produced using a shared cut between Components and the
end of the Raw Material was deemed good enough not to need trimming.
If it was necessary to trim the end of the Tube this could be achieved by adding a Cut to the other end of the Component.
This would however mean that we would have duplicate cutting in three places.
So trimming the End off the Tube cannot practically be achieved by modifying the methods used in Example 4.
To achieve what is required, we will have to create a Dummy Component to which we can apply the Trimming Cut and then use the Component Nesting Option.
