Start point - I have a cut with several long narrow boxes to be cut. How the )&)*#% do I tell RDWorks where to start, what corner of the box to start at? Is this as hard as I seem to be making it, or am I just that dense today?

I think (based on the index) that this is the video you want to watch.

I took a look at the video. I'm already doing the grouping for the group cut order. I did have a few of the boxes checked by default in 'Cut Optimize'. I've cleared them so we'll see how that works out on the next project.
It's not a big deal for this project, it's just that there was a lot of what I would consider un-necessary travel between the stopping corner of one of the squares to the starting corner of the next. On a larger project it could begin to add up.
I cut primarily 3mm Premium MDF on a rail bed, so I've gotten to love cutting order and bridges.

go to "Config" top of the page- look for system setting- when the window appears you will see a diagram of 9 circles representing the start position-clicking here will change it from middle to side--top to bottom
