Which do you like using more Stock Models or .STLs what are your preferences based on. I recently have been using Stock Model on some really big optirough and optirest paths and the stock model seems to take a very long time to regenerate so I am tempted to go back to .stl files but along time ago(X4) I noticed if you moved your .stl across multiple operations it had the tendency to get artifacts or glitchy triangles that were paper thin shooting off random faces, anyway please let me know what you think about this. I had time to make this poll and post while my Stock Model was regenerating it still hasn't finished....Tips on making this process faster would also be great

I have a part that has two operations done to it. The stock is rectangular and it is on its side for the first operation where a contour is milled on one side. The part is then rotated 90 degrees so that the contoured side is now pointing up in the z direction. Next, I need to mill in two slots and have them go to the depth of the contour previously milled. The rest mill toolpaths I keep using are not going all the way to the bottom (and they are cutting a lot of air at that). I've set up two WCSs for the two operations, a G54 and a G55 once the part is flipped. I'm stuck as how to get these two slots milled correctly. Please see attached file. Thanks.

Hi, In MCX6 i like to use the optirest fuction, with the option to "use core mill passes" (there is checkbox you can mark in the cut parameters) In the new version, MCX7, I couldn't find the core mill pass function? or the check box for that. Is the function removed? Please help me! Thnx!
