Is there a way to select the corner of the stock boundary to be your x,y,z coordinates? I have tried X form, WCS etc, but it doesn’t appear to let me select the stock boundary as a position.

Using M.C.X, attached is a picture to clarify.

I haven't had that much time with it but is it possible to drag the Origin Arrow to that Corner like MCV8?

I watch someone do that to correct something I goofed on.

Hope this helps

Didn't you type in the stock boundry location just translate your part the offset value from origin

I would just draw a rectangle the size of my stock around my part. Then just xform the rect. and part so my corner would be at xyz zero. Then just set up my stock using bounding box, display, fit to screen. Then it should verify correct.

That did the trick, thanks for the help.
