Version 9 has a new tab that lets you set the start point automatically for a toolpath.

Re: change all start points
that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. It only works about 80% of the time to accomplish what I need.
I asked because I want to avoid the dwell marks caused by some runout I was having.
I believe my problem is better solved by using ramps, which keeps the bit moving while it descends.

Best way to avoid dwell marks is to use in and out leads. That way the plunge and retract is away from the part.

Are you trying to re-orient the start points of a set of Vectors? GreenSquares gadget might help.
