Hi

Beginning to work more with solids in Mastercam I have a little problem when I chose points in different heights on the solids. When generating codes my G79 puts out the lowest coordinate as the initial Z value, so the first hole is at the lowest value. I want it to be in Z 0, as I want to drill holes before I mill.

The Program looks like this:

%PM9000
N9000( 15-019-0013 )
N1 G18 T1 M6
N2 G52 M8
N3 G81 Y5. Z-1. B5. F300.0 S3000 M3
N4 G79 X182. Z24. Y-3.
N5 G79 X164. Z35. Y0.
N6 G79 X81. Z35. Y0.
N7 G79 X122.5 Z35.5 Y0.
N8 G79 X150. Z47.5 Y0.
N9 M5
N10 T0 M6
N11 G74 Y-1
N12 G74 X-1
N13 M30

Any way to fix this?

I haven't had such problems before, as I only have worked with DXF files.
Cheers, Daniel

I would just create a layer with the points at Z zero and be done with it, or alternatively change the depth by going into the geometry tab and altering the z depths on all the holes after the first one.
