    As far as I know, the easiest way to do this is make a dummy solidworks assembly. Make an assembly sketch the size of your MDF then arrange all of your parts so they fit best within the sketch (all parts on the same plane). You can then import all of your camworks features & operations from the part files and "combine operations".

    Yep, what you are looking for is called "Nesting". CAMWorks does not have the ability to nest at this time. I keep bugging them to add it. We will see...
