Question about were to define stock

Dose anyone think it would be better to define stock under the machine setup instead of under the milling job?

I think there should be some way to define stock in each machine setup as well as having your initial stock setup in the job set up. At times you may want to simulate only a set up, and it would be good to be able to put the stl from the previous setup into each of the following setups. The NCEditor will always bring in the stock and work offset from the job setup (unless you change it for stock and w/o for the setup your posting which can be a problem if you have to back and recompute toolpath). So it would be beneficial to be able to also define stock for each machine set up.
Good feature request.

Might also be nice to change stock size for 3D feature. Being that some work from stock size.
