Below is a code that should be suitable,
The dwg, pdf and step subfolders in relation to the work folder are declared here, with prp revision
The prp revision and configuration for the step came from there
So the sheet can handle several different components (otherwise I invite you to open a new station for the step)
On my side for the sheet metal cuts I always add a dimension, so my nesting colleague can check and report to me any scaling error (never know)
