    Question Rough Start point?

    Is there a way of changing the starting point on a rough cut? I have a rough cutting toolpath that starts at 23,0 and moves along the Y axis. I want to be able to start at 0,0 and move along the Y axis.

    Thanks

    Hi Kyle,

    I might not have explained myself correctly. I want the rough cut to go from left to right along the x axis not right to left. I tried changing the datum point but that didn't work either.

    Hi Tim,

    The entire cutting file. It rasters along the x axis. It starts on the far end of the x axis and works toward 0. I would like it to start from 0 and raster along the x axis toward the far end.

    Thanks

    without seeing what your tool paths look like its hard to guide you - can you post any of it?
