It is typical for users to need the ability to position stock geometry in some geometric relationship with the part geometry. This dialog offers a convenient method of relative positioning the stock along the Z axis based on defined part geometry. This dialog can be invoked by selecting Align Part Stock from Program tab under the Machining Browser.
