Hello! I packed shells, and some of them are stacked (and therefore locked). And they don't repack for that reason, staying in place. Is there a way to repack them to fit boxes without unlocking them, so they unstack unnecessary? Thank you.

Great, thank you! The only problem there are lots of locked shells, hundreds. So for me it seems it's easier just to move those stacks manually, than adding for each stack a box.

If you have v2.09.04 or later then there's a "Box and Lock Overlapping" tool under the Pack panel. It will automatically search for already overlapping shells and box them all up for packing.

Reviving an old thread here.

The Box and Lock Overlapping feature is great. However when I use it, the shells that are boxed and locked are not spaced evenly like the unboxed shells are.

I've tried increasing the tile bleed but not luck. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about:
