Autodesk Inventor Nesting 2022

As part of its ongoing commitment to high-quality products and services, Autodesk has released Autodesk Inventor Nesting 2022. This Readme contains important information about new features and known issues in this release.

Empty sources list and translation failed with some assembly files.
Crashes while doing Create Nesting.
Inventor crashes if Nest document is closed while some commands are still running.
Create 3D model failed to open the generated assembly file in Inventor.
Incorrect result (part missing) after Create 3d Model.
Flipped and not flipped would get the same unexpected result when doing Nest Authoring with "Generic CAD" Provider.
Sheet Number in the Report is not consistent with Sheet Numbers in the Browser Tree.
Incorrect Material thickness detected for some source files.
Translation failed for Part names containing Unicode characters.

Nest doesn't support Inventor Model States.
Sources command crashes Inventor for certain files.
If you had installed Nesting 2021, go ahead to install Nesting 2022, then Launch Inventor 2021, it will load Nesting 2022; if you want to go back to use Nesting 2021, please uninstall previous Nesting 2021, then reinstall Nesting 2021.
For 2021 and 2022, if Decimal symbol is "," and Digit grouping symbol is "." then HTML Nest Reports created are black.
The context menu disappears when right clicking the column header in the assembly BOM or open from Vault dialog.
Check-in source file under Vault tab in iNest file failed, please open source file, check-in to Vault, or open Vault application to check-in the source file.
If launching Vault from Inventor fails, please launch Vault directly.
After upgrading from 2021 to 2022, if you want to use the customer configuration created in 2021, copy the folders from "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor Nesting 2021" to "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor Nesting".
Adding the same shape but with different parameters to the Edit Nest dialog is not allowed.
In the Create Nest Study dialog, the same packaging cannot be added more than once.
Check-in of an INEST file will be blocked if its source IAM or IPT file is not checked in.
If translation fails with the message "Problems encountered while saving the document", go to "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor Nesting 2022\Sources\" and remove any unnecessary files.
Some tables and graphs in the Example-template-full report template are empty. Use the default template (automatically loaded) instead.
Cannot author a sketch containing a spline.
Creating a 3D Model of a sheet as an assembly leaves invisible documents behind in memory. Use File > Close all to close these lingering documents.
Turning on the Rotate 90, 180, 270 values for a nest has no effect if these rotate parameters are turned off in the nest's material definition.
In the Create New File dialog box, only one template might be shown. Browse to the appropriate language folder to see all available templates.
Multiple contours in DXF files will be treated as a single shape for nesting.
Material and unit of the IPT source file cannot be modified in Inventor Nesting and therefore must be set in the IPT file itself. When you delete a material used by an IPT source file, you need to re-extract shapes from the IPT to restore the material.
CSV export does not currently support field separators within values.
To avoid read-only messages, be sure to start AutoCAD prior to opening a DXF source file from within Inventor Nesting (this is standard AutoCAD behavior).
The 3D Model command sometimes misses the external boundary of some nested parts.
Warning and error messages displayed during shape extraction and nesting are not localized.
Splines in a DXF file are only extracted after conversion to polylines by first saving the DXF file in R12 format.
Changing the default INEST template unit doesn't work.
Layer names cannot contain spaces.
Localization is not supported when editing configuration files for layer extraction.
Undo and Redo might not always work as expected.
To avoid creating redundant materials, postpone setting Inventor as your material Provider until you have selected all sources you want to nest in the document.
In 3D Detailed/Compare View, switch configuration file, then re-extract source file, INV crash when Update command running.
