Summary: Create an ordering B.O.M. for pipe/tube lengths

Description: A feature that nests the individual pieces of pipe/tube/angles/structural members into pre-determined lengths of material that can be ordered. For instance, the frame generator creates (4) parts 24" each. The total length of the parts is 96". The B.O.M. or parts list should be an option for Inventor to calculate and return the # of lengths required for order.

In a larger frame assy there would be many individual parts. These parts can be run through a module similar to the new nesting module that is used for sheet metal to determine an overall number of lengths to be ordered for the frame or assy.

The lengths can be drawn from a pre-populated library of available materials.
