    Default move start point

    I have tried to move start point. No can do. I read the old posts and it is what I have been doing. Node edit ,,right click,,make start point,,,click save and tool path but it is always at 0,0.
    When cutting small parts nested tight, the 0,0 on the first part has hold down problems on the final cut.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    David,

    If the start point is actually moving but the toolpath start point is not changing, be sure to check the box in the Profile toolpath menu that says "Use Vector Start Points..."

    Now you should have control over where the toolpath starts and stops.

    Tim,,,,,,Thank You. That was the missing step.
    Wonder why it isn't in the help file. That was the only step that is not mentioned.

    Thanks for posting Tim. Saves the part at 0,0 from getting knocked off the table when I cut small, nested parts.
