Example: I have 3 pieces approximately .75 + - .05, each different, clamped to my machine .
I want to pocket them so I have all three exactly .65 remaining.
How do I do that?

Re: Pocket to fixed remaining amount
1) reference Z=0 to the table, not the material top, tell VCP where Z=0 is in material setup
2) tell VCP your material is 0.8" thick for each piece
3) make a pocket that is 0.15" deep in each piece.
Cheers!
