New arrange option not working for my workflow

Hi there,

 

Today I noticed the new arrange option and it's not nice for my current workflow. In our workflow I receive final projects with components ready to be routed. I have to nest these components onto the stock and I use the arrange option for this (we do not have the paid nesting extention). When my stock is full is create component and sub-components to keep track of which component belong to which project. 

In my example screenshot I show 2 projects but most of the times there are 10+ projects, using multiple stocks.

 

With the new arrange option I have two issues:

1. Because it now automaticly creates a copy, I cannot keep track of which components I already have placed on the stock.

2. I can no longer create sub groups to keep track of which components belongs to which project. Now all components are placed in an arrangement.

 

I would like to hear any suggestions to help my workflow.

I managed to fix the problem myself. I was using the option: Preview feature > auto arrange. I disabled this in the preferences and now it's working as before.

Words can't express how grateful I am for this reply. I too use Arrange heavily in my workflow to nest hundreds of parts for a busy shop. I'm up to my neck in work and this seemingly minor detail mentioned in the post made it almost impossible to keep up. 

We're back to the old Arrange thanks to you!
