    Lightbulb ROVER 13S NC400 - DXF IMPORT - SIDE DRILLS DEPTH

    Dear all,

    for the past four weeks I've been reading all the information that I could find about importing files to our "old friend" the Rover13S.
    Thanks mostly to this forum I finally imported some files to the machine. That is why I am really grateful to this community!
    But my fairy tale comes to an end here.

    I am setting all the info in the DXF file but the problem is that the depth of the holes can't be set :drowning:. It can't be set because the NC400 is accepting only circles (not rectangles, lines or plines=all errors) for drilling on the sides.

    I read that I need to draw a rectangle so it dimensions can be transferred for depth and diameter of the hole but only the circle has been recognized as a shape and on the circle I cannot set depth for the hole.

    I am attaching the file as it is prepared for the cnc also a screenshot so you can see how is drawn.

    I hope you can help me for this. It is really frustrating to know that you are so close and something is missing.
    Thank you.

    on the DXF setup in NC400, did you name properly the layers for the side drilling?
