Hi, I've been running a number of tool paths on different areas of a large sheet of foam. I have been resetting the X and Y for each tool path by hand between each tool path. I'd like to combine the tool paths and reset the X & Y home postion from within the machine instructions - is there a way to do that and if so what are the machine commands to make this happen.

Thanks, Tim

Yep. Look up master files in the documentation.

They provide examples of how to do it. Note there is more than one kind of offset, and you need to read to pick the type of offset you need.

Its a real feature of the SB3 program to be able to do that.
