    I recently starting using OpenBuilds Cam for generating my gcode for my homebuilt plasma cutter. Working well, but I was wondering if there is any way to set where a particular toothpath starts? It would be nice to be able to set that. It just seems to pick a random location to start its cut path. I am using lead-ins to have my pierce location off my finish cut and it would be nice to control that location.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    In VCarve, you can change the start point.
