Settings for 'Create Separate Assembly' option

When multiple nesting layouts are generated after the execution of a nesting job, CAMWorksNesting lists all the nested layouts under the Configurations Manager Tab of SolidWorks. These nested layouts are saved as a part of a single assembly file. (.sldasm)

When the Create Separate Assembly checkbox option in the Nesting  Data group box of the 'Create Nesting Job' dialog is checked, the multiple nested layouts generated after execution of the nesting job will each be saved as a separate assembly file.

You can assign the default settings whether the Create Separate Assembly checkbox should remain checked or unchecked whenever the 'Create Nesting Job' dialog for executing a new nesting job. This particular setting is available in the DefaultValues.ini file.
