Hi
I am used to generating gcode from Vetric software but though i’d try out Rhinocam. I ran the same pocketing toolpath in both software to compare. I’m used to the the tool retracting to safe Z and then returning to zero’d position but remaining at the safe z. Rhinocam retracted to safe z didn’t move to zero’d position. I wonder what instruction to add to the Rhinocam Mach 3 post processor to give it the instruction to move to job zero position, see gcode.
Any thoughts on this would be most useful.
Thanks
