Reuse assemblies in the Reuse Library

Has anyone found an efficient/correct way to use reuse parts in other reuse parts to create reuse assemblies? Some of the reuse parts are simple assemblies themselves. I have found that for the Part Name Management dialog/settings to work all the reuse parts that are included in the assembly must be in the same folder. The Part Name Management dialog doesn’t appear to recognize the “as saved” load options. While the components of the assembly will load and clone, but the naming rules won’t work…unless …they are in the same folder.

Hmm, it should be working. I switch back and forth between As Save and From Folder, depending on whether I use my custom reuse parts or if all my components are in a folder. Both methods work for me. Not sure if it makes a difference but my custom reuse parts single prt files, not assemblies. Are you seeing any difference in behavior between single reuse parts and assembly reuse parts?
