自动和半自动套料就像一个虚拟助手，利用最有效的方式套料零件。这听起来很棒，为了在实际操作中表现的同样出色，我们需要进行判断并进行相应设置，以便给出的建议尽可能准确。
你是不是已经猜到，这些辅助工具可以帮助你节省时间，因为它们可以让你不必考虑如何逐个套料。如果时间对你来说尤为重要，那么本篇文章将对你有所帮助！
让我们详细了解一下。
现在，我们将详细解释如何使用Lantek提供的自动辅助工具。
使用保存的套料。
这是第一步。一旦选择了正在处理的工件，进入套料工作，需要做的第一件事就是检查是否有可使用的保存的套料。在第一个“子任务”菜单中，点击“导入数据库套料”选项。如果以前有相同工件的套料，你实际上已经完成了工作。只需要导入它，选择你要完成的套料的张数，并设置你是想优先进行套料还是加工。
自动套料。
如果你没有保存的套料可以使用，那么你需要重新创建一个。
在Lantek 软件“开始”菜单中有几个选项。
● 套料全部。如果您在所有子作业的配置中计划了套料，包括不同的机器、板材规格、格式（包括可用的余料）和厚度，它将自动创建套料以及加工。
● 套料当前子作业：它将根据你选择的当前子作业（使用相同的机器、材料和板材厚度）自动创建套料，并使用库存中的板材，直到该子作业中的所有工件都完成套料。
Advantages of automatic and semi-automatic nesting aids.
Lantek´s automatic and semi-automatic nesting aids offer you numerous advantages that deserve to be highlighted.
Firstly, thanks to the automatic positioning of the parts, valuable time is saved that was previously dedicated to manually locating, copying and pasting, each one of them onto the sheet. In addition, by having automatic rotation and automatic mirroring of the pieces, you can make the most of the surface of the sheet and avoid waste material as much as possible.
Another benefit of the automatic adjustment of the separation between pieces is that it guarantees adequate space between each of them to avoid collisions and ensure optimal cutting quality.
Finally, the use of these aids significantly reduces the possibility of human error, which translates into greater efficiency in the cutting process and reduced costs.
That´s all.
In my experience, I have noticed that there is a certain tendency to not take full advantage of these functions and continue to do the nesting in a very manual way. It is true that sometimes you think that manual methods may be faster, but after spending some time discovering some of the advantages that Lantek offers, you will become a true fan of these automatic aids.
So, if you are a Lantek user and have not yet tried these functions, I encourage you to do so and, I tell you, that combining these aids with the configuration of hot keys can make your productivity literally explode. But I will explain that to you in future articles which you can read soon.
