object selection in nesting for Preferred lead-in positions

[davidPV8MH]

I don't really understand why, when using a tool and assigning preferred lead-in positions within a nesting, the selection of the parts you had just clicked on  disappears when you want to assign preferred lead-in positions. When selected a lot of parts, it's really hard to remember exactly which parts you had selected. It seems completely illogical that the selection isn't kept visible while you're defining the preferred locations — you'd expect that to be visible so u know for which parts you can assingn positions?

You could turn this on:

It will show you the toolpaths for the contours machined. However, it won't show them if you've not yet calculated the toolpaths. I can see there's room for improvement here, I'll have a chat with the developers to see if there's an opportunity for improvement here.

Hi Seth, Yes thank you, would greatly be appreciated, sometimes i have to remember like 8/30 objects of a nesting, which can go wrong quite quickly. haha.

I've opened up CAM-62339 to investigate this possible improvement
