Hi all,
Here's what I am trying to do. I have a plate with some pockets to be milled out (pls. see the attached pic). Since I don't want an 1/2" end-mill to plunge right into the part, I want to drill some start holes inside the pocket first and then would like to start milling from there. The holes may be created in some arbitrary location (shown points)inside the pocket and the depth same or shallower than the pocket.

I created the milling sequence (after creating the drill sequence) using Volume -> Window. Now, how can I say Pro/E to move the tool to that location and start milling from the hole. Even if I pick the point as 'Start' point, the tool comes down on it, but retracts and starts milling from the default location.
I am relatively new to Pro/Mfg. Is there something really basic that I am missing? Gurus, pls help.
I'm using WF 2.0 M110.
Thanks
