METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FITTING 2-DIMENSIONAL (2D) PART DRAWINGS IN 2D SHEET DRAWINGS

Abstract

This disclosure relates to method and system for fitting 2-dimensional (2D) part drawings in 2D sheet drawings. The method includes receiving a first part drawing corresponding to a first 2D part and a sheet drawing corresponding to a 2D sheet. The 2D sheet includes a plurality of corners. The method further includes identifying a plurality of valid positions for the first part drawing on the sheet drawing based on the plurality of corners and a plurality of predefined nesting directions. The method further includes, at each of the plurality of valid positions, evaluating each of a plurality of orientations of the first part drawing on the sheet drawing based on predefined selection criteria. The method further includes determining an optimal orientation from the plurality of orientations and an optimal position from the plurality of valid positions in order to optimize a packing efficiency function.
