What is Nested Attachment ?

Hi I hope I get a detail reply on this.

What is Nested Attachment ? What is Live Nesting, Nesting Depth ? When it should be done ? 

I have been using "Coincident World" as attachment Method all the time. How is Nested attachment different from Nested attachment ?

  • Suppose that file B has file C attached as a reference file. 

    You are in file A and attach file B as a reference file. If live nesting is on you will see file B and file C in your drawing.

    If file C had file D attached as a reference and you set the nest depth to 2 you would see files B, C and D while in file A.

    Coincident World attachment is a completely different thing than  live nesting. Coincident World is a method of aligning the coordinate systems. Live nesting determines how many files are coming with the reference attachment.
