Box Gadget and stock alignment

Post by toolznthings »

Hi All,
Trying the box gadget. The generated box layout is always located outside of the stock size I define. Regardless if I make the stock size way larger than needed. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance !

Maybe try material zero in lower left corner?

New user here, I can setup my job just fine…but it just occurred to me, does this box gadget calculate the size of the inside of the box? Can this be set in the parameters. Thanks…
