Start Location enables you to edit start locations or add new start locations. The software adds a start location to each profile when you convert elements to parts. Start locations that you define in the Parts work area are rarely in the right place for an optimal cutting path. This command enables you to relocate start locations and to add new start locations.
Edit options include moving the start location, and editing advances, leads, and the start hole. You can also align start holes into the same position on profiles to unify the properties of the start holes.
