not needed. Optirest will figure out the best method based on the part geometry, rest material and containment boundary.

While "not needed" is absolutely correct you may find yourself in situations where a containment boundary worked in the past and doesn't in X7. On some occasions you may need to modify the boundary, but in many situations simply setting the containment boundary to "Outside" will do the trick.

This change is going to effect several of my previous programs. The problem is when someone opens them in the future it will need to be reprogrammed in order to work correctly. If that person doesn't know to look for this they might not catch the problem.

Ive run in to this on a few files myself. Its annoying to say the least. Ive been locking operations of proven part files until there is a reason to make a change to the affected tool paths. The annoying part is that there was no warning. Finding out the hard way is uh......
