Grouping components when nesting

Is it possible to group components while using the nesting of the manufacturing extension so those groups of components are placed on the same sheet?  

 

For example, I have a bunch of part: two of them require multiple tool changes and the others do not. I would like those two to be forced to be on the same output sheet.

 

Is this possible?

You can set the 'priority' on a part in nesting in the component sources dialog.

See https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=NST-REF-COMP-SOURCES .

This will not totally force the parts to be on the same sheet, but it will make the nesting engine place the parts first, so they would tend to be grouped together.
