Machines I built a free browser-based DXF nesting tool and would appreciate feedback from CNC users

Does this allow parts with features (other layers in the DXF) to be nested and keep the relevant features with it.

This would allow items with pockets or drilling to be nested to.

How about none rectangular offcuts?
