Feature Request: Combine Work Orders

The ability to combine already set up work orders, without the need to choose specific parts because its already done, so it can then combine all the parts for nesting together. With the current set up it way to hard to go through and choose which cabinets need doing from which project, with the ability to click through multiple drawings in place. I always find myself in a position to be able to cut multiple jobs at once, but not get them setup together as quickly. 

Its like for every 1 job i process, i usually have 2 or 3 ready to machine. By trying to combine the nests somehow, this would lead to more efficient use of sheets and time. In real world use i'm not sure how much of a benefit it would be, but i'm about to run another 2 jobs now, finishing 1 job, and will have various off cut pieces and semi wasted full sheets because they were nested at different times. The scrap management is too much to process at the moment relying on staff not to use the sheets, and or not updating the system, and to cut in the right order so the scraps can be used on the next job, no chance!

Long Story short, at the point of machining, which my day is now, id like to combine multiple project nests into one, per sheet type. I'm happy to print labels on the day.
