Onyx 22 / Thrive wont auto rotate when nesting?

[Printy McPrint-Print]

Oh really? What version are you on right now that will rotate while nesting? I’m on 22.5 and it doesn’t.

I'm back on 22

Update for everybody also struggling with this issue, creating a quick set that had ‘allow rotation while nesting’ under the output tab worked!! Thank you so much!!

I just got my 700w and onyx 22 and im in the same boat, the check box its checked but i manually have to rotate some files to make them fit properly, even when there is room to fit more on the side onyx won't do it, it just keeps everything vertical not using the right or left sides. if i load a 24x36 it puts it vertical all the time never turns it side ways to 36".

So it appears that it is nesting correctly based on the conserve media placement strategy. What is the resolution of the media profile you are using? What happens to the nest if you change the nesting strategy?t

You need to right click on your printer up in the printers panel (top of onyx screen) and hit configure, then in the window that pops up there's a quick set a tab and you can edit, Add new, or delete a quick set.
You should edit all of the quick sets to auto rotate by going into the believe it's called workflow tab on the left and then to output and then allow objects to rotate. Sorry I'm not explaining it very well I'm not in front of the RIP computer.

Ok, figured it out, you don't need to create a new quick set, attached is a pic of where to find the setting for the autorotate. hope it helps others.

In the placement settings on the right hand side of the RIP Queue, select Conserve Media and then click the little gear to adjust the options. In the options, select "Best Fit" and "Allow Rotate". It should automatically adjust your nest so that you would not need to go into job settings for each print job.

this option is checked and it never works.

[ozpall]

That's exciting!

ONYX 24 is now available with auto rotate non-square resolutions.

ONYX 24 is now available with auto rotate non-square resolutions.

Too bad it has to rip every file three times now. Side by side testing with 22.02 vs 24... ripping takes 2.5 times longer

Well that's disappointing to hear. My Advantage subscription runs out next week and I was planning on upgrading.

ONYXtechtips if we upgrade to v24 and then our Advantage subscription runs out, can we still go back to v22?

I can answer that, yes you can.

There are other benefits to 24 that make up for it, its just frustrating with the one step forward two steps back in software.
