New to partworks so this may be so easy I can't see. How do you move startpoints? Can you have all toolpaths start a distance off corners?

Select the vector you want to edit and press the "n" key on the keyboard to toggle into node edit mode. The green node is your start point and if you want to change it just hover over - or select - the desired node and press "p" on the keyboard. for a list of the available node edit options, select a node with a right click.

Wow! I just learned something new! There is so much more that I just haven't taken the time to investigate. Thanks for asking, Jeff and thanks, Dan for teaching this old dog a new trick!

I think by hitting the "I" key you can INSERT a start point where ever you want on the line.

In Node Edit mode you can press 'P' with the cursor anywhere on the vector to insert the start point. If there is not a node there already, one is inserted and made the start point.
