    Any way to select bounding box to set wcs?

    Could you tell me if it is possible to select the corner of the bounding box to set a new wcs in x2. I have a wierd shaped part and that corner would be perfect. I guess what I'm asking is whether there is a way to make the bounding box selectable.
    Thanks, Shepard

    I couldn't get the sound to work for me on the video but it looks good.

    I just checked lines/arcs when I set up the bounding box and it became selectable.

    It would be nice to have sound to explain whats going on rather than only parrot your moves. Out here in the boonies there aren't many people to bounce the how and why off of, so any little bit helps.
    Thanks, Shepard

    Yes. once you click bounding box, another box opens. on top says (create) stock has a check mark, need to check lines arcs, then click ok
    or green check mark. Now you can select the bounding box to set WCS..

    or you can go into the WCS Mananger and do a shift value for the amount of stock and not have to make the eaxtra Geo. but I do like making the block or stock size as a refreance for programming.
    this can also be done in Stock set up or use the Create Boundry Box.

    Boy is this old stuff.Being a Old post I mean.

    PS here is new link to the old video from a while back.
