Our company produces case goods (panels and boxes)
Our assemblies are configured with multiple sizes. The parts contain multiple configurations.
Our CNC programmers are looking into programs that will nest the panels for our saw.
The program they are looking at does not like multiple configurations.
I created a file for them by opening an ASSEMBLY and doing a <Save As> <part file>.
This file is a single configuration and only contains bodies of that specific configuration.
This works really well for them.
Does anyone have a macro which would take an assembly file and export all the configurations out as induvial part files for all configurations?
-OR-
Does anyone know of a nesting program that I should be looking into?

Re: Panel Nesting
Someone has posted a "configuration ripper" for Parts before, but I'm not sure it would work in terms of assembly, though I'm guessing it could most likely be adjusted.
Re: Panel Nesting
I did find this Macro from @Deepak Gupta and it does what I want but only for the current assembly configuration.
I would like something that exports all the assembly configurations to part files with the names based on the assembly configuration.
