Nest DXF parts onto a sheet online
Pack copies of a part onto a sheet and export the layout. Set your sheet size and the gap between parts, optionally allow 90° rotation, and see how many fit and how much of the sheet you're using.

Getting more parts out of every sheet is where material cost is won. DXFTools arranges copies of your part on a sheet using a grid-based packing approach: it fills the sheet in whichever orientation fits the most, and — when you allow rotation — packs additional rotated parts into the leftover strips along the edges.
You set the sheet dimensions and the gap between parts in the drawing's units, and choose between fitting as many as possible or laying out a fixed quantity across sheets. The tool reports parts per sheet, the grid (columns × rows) and the sheet utilisation percentage, then exports a DXF of the nested layout.
It runs entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded — a free, private way to plan a sheet without dedicated nesting software.
What you get

- Set sheet size and part gap in drawing units
- Reports parts per sheet and utilisation %
- Exports the nested layout as a DXF — nothing uploaded
Frequently asked questions
- Does it rotate parts to fit more?
- Optionally. When you allow rotation, the tool packs additional 90°-rotated copies into the leftover strips along the sheet edges to raise utilisation.
- What does it tell me about the layout?
- Parts per sheet, the grid arrangement (columns × rows) and the sheet utilisation percentage, plus an exported DXF of the nested layout.
- What shapes can it nest?
- It packs parts by their bounding box on a grid, which suits rectangular and roughly rectangular parts. It is not a true contour (shape-fitting) nester.
- Do you upload or store my DXF file?
- No. The file is read and processed entirely in your browser using your device's own resources. It is never sent to a server or stored anywhere.
