On my first go around I messed up and included three distinct rooms, with their own walls and cabinets, in one eCab file because I wanted to nest parts from all three rooms for cutting to get the best material utilization. A result of my lack of understanding of all the capabilities of eCab. I know how to do it in the future, by selecting jobs for nesting inclusion, so material utilization can be maximized in a large project like this.
My question is - can I take the one file/design I've created with three rooms and break it up into three files with one room per file (the way I should have done it in the first place)?

You can take the cabinets and/or parts that make up an area and add it to Batch. Then save that as a separate job file.

Re: Breaking a design into multiple files
Make two copies of the file (with different names of course). Edit each of the three jobs to remove two of the rooms and save.
