    Eddy,
    Why would you want to rotate the material? I am working every day like this, I set the Job "stock" dimensions greater than the model sizes and square, set the origin to centre, create the part I can then rotate to any angle with ctrl 9 and ctrl 0 then F9 to centre create the toolpaths and cut no problems whatsoever.
    If I want a pair then copy and paste move 1 each side of centre.
    If I was on txt same as above you can rotate, move, scale reverse, and only toolpath and cut what you want.


    look at the time taken to rotate and screenshot only seconds.
