    Can I add/subtract from the Z coordinate in Preditor Editor?

    I have Preditor Editor and have no idea what it's for. I'm looking for a program that I can say add 1/2" to the Z depth or shift all the X axis coordinate points by say .050" etc. Can I do this in Preditor?

    I have the text files for several programs that I'd like to shift the values. I'd like to be able to adjust completed text files by shifting all the x, y, or z coords.

    thanks!
    Nick

    Use Process>Math Operations from the menu, if you have Predator Editor Level 2

    I'm not sure what version I have but I don't have operations or process as far as I can see. My version came with V23 recently.

    I now use V24, however, in V23 look in Help>License and/or About and verify that you have Level 2 checked for the Editor. If so, make sure you start the editor from within BobCAD, sometimes starting the editor on its own does not apply the proper level 2 requirements, and you should see Process>Math Operations across the top menu in Predator.
