  1.  Open Automation Manager
  2. Add available sheets and/or offcuts into AlphaCAM via the Materials tab
  3. In the Processing tab, select the job and change the Configuration Set to PYTHA Select Material 
  4. Once that is done a Material option dialogue will appear - Press the ... and select the material you want as shown below

Please note: The order in which you select the sheets is the order ALPHACAM will nest. It is important to specify the quantity of sheets available when adding them to Materials.

If you have any further issues, please submit a Support Ticket.
