Nesting parameter to choose whether small parts are not positioned close to the edge of the board
In some situations it is preferable to position small parts away from the edge of the board, for example, to avoid damage caused if the part cannot be adequately held by the vacuum.
Small parts to be offset from the edge of the board are parts with an area less than the parameter Min. area for nesting on the edge or parts with a value of Y or 1 in the information box Do not place part on the edge.
The minimum distance these small parts are positioned away from the edge of the board is defined by the parameters: Min. offset from the length edge and Min. offset from the width edge
Check the box to allow this.
