Run Plugin from script.

Question

Hello. I Have big or small job . I have to write nesting script ;/ I know this is not easy job. But I need any advice how can I do in Illustrator. By Colission detection? Or I need to write another application between illustrator and javascript. My company currently use eCut. It work fine, but over 200 files should be done automatically

. Meaby is way to run eCut plugin by javascript.(Effect>eCut>Nesting). But I don't know how to do it.

Thanks for any advice.

Is this 200 input files as 200 separate output files, each stepped/fitted into an area such as the artboard? Or 200 input files combined into one or more output files? Is it just a single copy of each input file? Are the input files grouped into a single object? Are there masked images?

There are obviously other third party nested solutions that often have a significant cost, as there are many things to consider and this quickly becomes an expensive exercise in time, knowledge, resources etc.
