PEPS Nesting Parts Without a Common Cut

http://www.cadfamily.com/downinfo/301948.html

In Example 7, all parts had square ends so that they could be nested with no gap i.e. one cut cuts two sides.In this example we will nest more parts but there will be a gap between them and therefore no need for a dummy part.

Before we proceed with the nesting we will explain a little trick to save material.Example 6 had 45-degree mitres and if nested end to end would create lots of waste material.It would be nice if one of the parts could be rotated by 180 degrees to save material.
