.stl file for stock

[Namliek_J@TheeCircle™]

I know that I can save my stock after machined as a .stl file. So that I can do all my roughing and then finish with the stock being the roughed piece. Is there a way to flip the stock over. If i have operations on both sides, I want to rough side 1, flip and rough side 2. Then finish side 1 and then finish side 2. I wanna keep saving the part to see the part from block to the whole way thru. I just need to be able to flip the stock (.stl file) over and machine the back side of it. How can I do this?

Can't you just flip you're WCS rather than flip the stock?

how do i do that to achieve what i am looking for?

I t is a little involved. Just use you WCS T/C planes and always create the .STL file in Top,TOP,Top. This is the key if you create the file in any other view it will be all screwed up.

after stock has been machined save the STL file it then can be repositioned by

xform/xform stl/data/*file*/then you have your choices of mirror, rotate, translate ect.

I hope this is what you were asking
