There appears to be a bug in the program that I cannot resolve.
I have a part which consists of two operations, each operation being done twice, one rough, with a stepped Z, and then finally at full Z to finish the edges of the part.
The import is an autocad DXF
It reads well
I switch off the unwanted layers ( text etc)
Link the components, and and sort the layers
and generate Gcode
as in the above post, I do not get the correct stepped Z output, but I also get an error message: "Z increment is enabled on Layer xxxxx. The layer must be chained before converting to G code"
If I select the entity info for each of the four components -(each on it's own layer) I see I have chains 0, 0, 3, and 4
i.e. chains 1 and 2 have not been assigned to two of the components and the program is looking for this link to be made. I had previously selected chain ALL layers, so I'm stuck!
An option to view chains might be a useful addition
I look forward to your conmments
