Shapeoko 5 Pro: using bitsetter for multiple bits and positioning stock corner/zero?

I’m just getting started with my new machine. I’ve been able to successfully run a handful of small jobs using a single endmill, or V bit by disabling Bitsetter, finding my stock corner, setting zero and running the job. My question is, with Bitsetter enabled (I have a job that requires 3 different bits) how do I start? I’m connected, initialized, Bitsetter does it’s thing, HOW DO I TELL THE MACHINE WHERE TO START, HOW TO FIND THE CORRECT CORNER TO START FROM?

Thanks for your help.

Carbide Motion will remember where you set up the zero that you set when starting the job. It will prompt you to change change the bits that you have set up I in your projects toolpaths. No need to reset the zero for each bit change.

Thank you so much, I’ll give that a try here in a minute. That sounds super easy.

That’s one of my favorite features, probably #1, about the Shapeoko machines and Carbide Motion.
