Hello All,
Used to do this all the time.
Must be having a brain cramp.
I have a DXF file that has text and a perimeter shape.
The file is a 2d dxf drawing for a sign.
Carve the text using the special engrave 3d functions. No problem.
Then I send a rdy file to cut the perimeter shape thru using multipass function.
The material is 1.5 inch thick high density foam board.
On the OUTPUT page:
Compensation set to radius of cutter.
Depth set to THRU.
Multipass ON and the material thickness set to 1.5".
Pass depth to 0.25". Number of passes updates to 6.
Change cutter and set F4 and F8 cutter depths accordingly.
The router advances to the start point and comes down to the material surface.
Never plunges down to the step distance. Repeats six times if I let it.
Exported the file as a text NC file and there are X and Y values but no Z values.
ToolPath issue or 2D drawing requires something?
What am I missing?
thanks,
Ted
