    editing common parameters without selecting eveything?

    I'm trying to change the planes for pallet two without changing the planes for pallet one. Pallet one and two are the exact same program I just want to give pallet two different planes so it will post out different offsets. Anyone know of a way to select a plane for editing common parameters without selecting ALL the operations that include that offset?Click image for larger version.

    based on the way your program is written selecting individual tool groups will allow you to do what you want. just click on your tool group's name and only that group will be checked
    If you can ENVISION it I can make it

    Do you really want to make it hard for yourself ??

    for pallet 2, why not just use the transform function
    - only needs 1 operation in the 2nd group to replicate the 1st group ops
    - you only need to mod the ops in the 1st group & it is carried into both pallet programs

    or use subs,
    - call pallet 1 in, run the program, call in pallet 2, run the 1st program again
