New (beta) Optimizer - prompt for True Shape

The new True Shape Settings in the Beta nesting optimizer seems to be great so far.  We love all of the new enhancements.  BUT, it would be nice if you could leave Block Nesting on as default, and *quickly* enable True Shape per 'work order' or 'batch'.

I'm envisioning a check box under Process Report Groups.  This would enable/disable True Shape for any Processing Station within the current work order/batch ONLY.  This check box would be set per user and would not affect other users who might prefer Block Nesting for their project with 1000's of simple parts and no need for enhanced optimization.

Settings for True Shape would be preset and still adjustable by knowledgeable people in the same way, but the box needs to be checked to enable it.

Current Method is to setup another processing station with True Shape on/off, so that general users do not need to edit the global processing station settings and affect other users.  But, as you see in my example, we already have several processing stations for specific reasons and it's beginning to get out of hand.  Each of the top 7 processing centers would need a duplicate just for this one setting.  Please help!
