I recently just purchased a Baileigh CNC Router that came with a copy of BobCad (Downloaded the POST processor and am using that). I'm trying to figure out how to use the software by just making a basic square cutout that is 1/2" deep. I have a 1/4" end mill I'm using and setup the paths in the program and while simulating it is showing all the passes going down 1/8" at a time. When I do a POST the Z appears to go down, but only for one pass and the program is done.
Any ideas what might be going on?

Is it licensed? Demo usually has a code limit.
Machine selection and post processor matter.
Stock setup matters also...
Need more info.
What post processor. What machine selected. How is the stock setup...

It is the demo. We just got the software last night so we can't license it until Monday as apparently I have to call them to get set up.... I'm guessing that was my issue. Thanks.
