starting a line inside the billet

[Weeden007]

hi, Is it possible to draw the part inside the billet i.e. start the line at z:-15mm? it seems to allways start from z: 0
I have a 2 op job that i want to turn around in the chuck and i want to face off the material that was in the chuck and then do some boring.

cheers

Starting from Z0 is fixed into the software to keep things from getting too complicated.
If you're saying that the jobo is 15mm shorter when turned around, why not use 2 work offsets where the Z differs by 15mm ?
