Note: To return to the initial position, determine a point at which all of the grading points are
positioned in the same location prior to using the Stack command. Re-stack the nest at this
predetermined point to return to the initial po- sition. If no common point is available, simply add a
button mark (without grading) to the piece and use that point as the initial point. The extra button
mark may be deleted later.
