Dynamic Stock Depth

[Kahnk91 (Brandon Kahnk)]

I’m extremely interested in this feature where the stock depth in tool pathing changes based on changed input in the job settings. This was discussed some years ago in the below article. This would be extremely helpful for projects that are cut in sequence but utilize different sheets of plywood. Instead of having to go into all the toolpaths to change thickness, a single change could edit all depths in tool pathing if “T” is used as the input.

Carbide Create - Changing thickness should update cuts that go to 'Stock Bottom'

If a toolpath is entered with a finish depth of ‘Stock Bottom’, then changing the stock depth to something thicker doesn’t change the tool path. Instead, it looks like the design just captures the depth at that time, and ‘forgets’ that the reason for that depth was to match stock bottom. Toolpaths set to Stock Bottom should remain at the bottom even if the stock depth is changed.

I would think this would be a very simple addition?

Yes, it’s already been implemented:
