changing default "Merge Result" setting?

Is there any way to change the default "Merge Result" setting?

I would like to build features without constantly having them merge
with previous features. Is there a way to shut off the default
checked box?

Thanks.

I beleive if you start with a weldment feature first it will
automatically NOT merge the bodies. At least that's how it is on my
system.

 

That's right. Just set up your part template with a weldment feature
in it. You can also set up some default values for every item in the
cut list by right clicking the weldment feature and setting it's
properties.
