Zero remains in the same place — simply move the material by the distance specified by the the tile.
Wow! You guys work fast. I figured it would take six months to a year before we would see tiling.
Agree Ken,sooner the better Kevin

It’s in the current beta for folks who have Pro licenses:
752
- (NEW) Toolpath Tiling for Pro licenses. The help link is broken and we need to clean up some terms and labels once people try it out.
EDIT: see:

Sounds like its time for me to buy the license. I have been waiting for the tiling feature, so glad I took a minute to create this post last week ! Thanks

Yeah - I think it’s worth it if it has that feature.

I too would LOVE to see a video on the new tiling feature. Exciting!

Agree. For a long time, I viewed the Carbide Create Pro license fee as an investment in the future. With the addition of tiling, my investment is beginning to pay dividends.

Kevin,I get as far as the toolpaths and tiling top and bottom OK but how do I get it to show up the tiling in my group.?On simulation it shows one side and not the top unless I change the tiling cut to the top.Is this what it should do??
Yes. It will only show you the active tile.
Save the file and run it. Then slide your stock. Switch the tile selection to the next tile, save and run that tile.
Understanding that the top tile will be run as though the endmill is starting from the lower left corner of that tile.
The way I think, the top is usually first (even though the would be listed as “tile 2” in Create)

Thanks Kevin,I will have a go in the morning on some scrap pieces,it will be a very rough trial.
One other question,on your training video,you have on the toolpaths screen tiling 1 showing,I do not get anything like that on my toolpaths Paine.
On another matter on your brilliant backdrop of the the worl map,you have not included New Zealand
Opie! 
Nice video! You do talk pretty fast 
You went through the “Moving the stock” part really quick. I think the point to drive home is, whatever you set your tile height to, that’s how far you want to move the stock. Regardless of how you index it, with a pencil mark, dowel holes, etc…
The misalignment on the overlap was a bit disheartening. I agree, at 60 miles an hour no one will notice. But for us OCD perfectionists we want to know how to prevent that.
You also cruised through the “X Margin” and how to tile multiple pieces. I think I get it. You either need to use layers or multiple files, but a slightly more in depth discussion might be prudent.
Say I wanted to create a world map (also without New Zealand ) using 2 sheets of plywood. Best practices…???

Yes Tod1d, there is a certain amount of pacing and level of detail considerations that go into a video. We will have subsequent use of Tiling in later projects and videos. Everything Everywhere All at Once may win at the Oscars, but it’s a bad video plan!
Part of the deal is people need to play with the feature, their own project and develop workflow that meets the demands of their brain.
I was off on the cut that time due to the slide and my workholding. Just like all of you, when we get a new feature I have to experiment with it and learn it. There was a third cut, not in the video, that was spot on. So the methodology is good. You’re dead on with the Tile Size = Stock Movement. The overlap is essentially the safety there.
For the X-Margin, in a gigantic project it’s going to be the side of the separate panels. The margin should ensure that whatever vector is at the edge of your panel gets cut in. In many cases that will be an air cut on any given panel. I would locate a panel with a Left Side Partner (See Africa in your above example) away from the edge guide. I would space it with a pair of 123 Blocks (as seen in Carbdie 3D IG stories yesterday) to provide that same accuracy of Y alignment to a panel with X-Margin considerations.
This is why the installation of the Y-Guides is incredibly nice on the new machine. Any project can then be squared exactly to your particular machine.
