If I'm in the middle of programming a part and I need to switch to a different part. I use lock sometimes as a bookmark to remind myself what I was working on when I return to the unfinished program.
The good thing about this thread for me is, all along I thought when I was having these issues it was something I was doing wrong. I guess I'm not as big of an idiot as I though I was.
The only things simular to those materials I WEDM is Ampco 18. The stuff burns fast and clean. I use the same cut conditions that I use for copper. I'm cutting it today as a matter of fact.

We have 2 Mitsubishi's. One of them is 1998 model and its still cuts +/- .00002 all day long. They have top notch phone support for both service and tech issues.
I've been running Mitsubishi EDM's for 20 years and very happy with them. We haven't puchased a new one in quite a long time. I would guess around the 140k??
I use "sort options" as a quick and easy way to avoid clamps and part features. After several operations using the same sort, I realized a different sort would work better. Is there a way to changes all operations "sort option" at the same time or do I need to change each individual operation one at a time?
In Inventor it warns you if you try to change the print without changing the model. We used to have a problem with one of are designers taking shortcuts and not updating model. That person is not longer in the engineering dept..
