## Erik's Notes
- This is a great way to make a manufacturing model and orient parts for exporting as STLs for 3D printing!
1. Open the model in Fusion.
2. Change to the Manufacturing Workspace.
3. Setup --> Create Manufacturing Model
4. Right click on the created manufacturing model and select EDIT
5. Modify --> Arrange
6. Select each component
7. Click on Envelopes
1. Select the XZ Plane in the origin as a flat surface.
2. Set Length, Width, and Placement Clearance (0mm)
8. You can flip the parts around or select the face.
9. File --> 3D Print
1. EITHER
1. Select Arrangements --> Arrange1:1
2. Select One Body Per File
2. OR
1. Select each arranged model and export individually
10. Done!

The new Arrange feature can be used to nest parts in Fusion 360. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to auto-arrange parts on sheet goods, such as plywood.
Arrange serves as an efficient and easy workflow for CNC, Laser Cutters, and other machines that require flat layouts.
This concept is often referred to as "Nesting" or Nest. Speaking of Nest, there's a big announcement in the middle of the video ;)
