    Default new toolpath?

    I have a part that I have generated toolpath.
    I have 3 features in the cam tree.
    I need to move the part an 1/8" in both x & y direction.
    The toolpath does not move with it even when I click on
    'compute all toolpath. Do I have to to each feature over again?
    Help!

    Generally you can just click the re-select, then ok, without actually having to pick the geometry again. I guess there's a reason to leave the toolpaths where they were when the underlying geometry moves, but I've never found it.

    Can you not just do an .125 offset of the origin in machine wizard? When you post code it will be according to the stock and part placement. Forrest
