    problem with z in sheetcam

    Hi.
    I am new to sheetcam.
    I have imported a dwg and set up tools, choosen layers and so on. When i import gcode in mach3 all pieces of my drawing are spread from eachother on the z axis.
    Is there some way i can align all lines to 0 on z in sheetcam?

    Thanks!

    More detail:
    If i use lazycam the pieces of my drawing are aligned on the z axis. But in sheetcam z jumps up and down like crazy. It also results in a very very long g-code. I just don't understand why lazycam can make a short code with z aligned while sheetcam can't...

    Thanks in advance!
