Change the Distance Between Parts functionality in the Processing station
Would it be possible to have the Distance Between Parts prompt in each the nesting processing stations changed to a distance to add to the nesting tool diameter instead of a fixed spacing? We occasionally select a tool with a larger diameter than ourDrawer Slide Cross Reference
Question ... Does anyone have or know of a drawer slide cross reference chart? Meaning .... That a Hardware Resources Slide "ABC" is exactly the same prep / same slide as an Accuride "XYZ" or the same as a Salice "LMNOP" or a Bee Slide "123" - and soType of bit for plexi glass application.

So in our shop, our edgebander performs a pre-mill before applying edge tape, therefore a 400mmx400mm square panel will come off the CNC at its actual size (400mmx400mm). This is fine except for when we have an edge that needs to be finished by hand (scallops,Flatshot Token for better default elevations?
