I am using Lazycam 3.00.2. Importing a simple DXF which I need to cut in multiple passes. (4.5mm cut in passes of .5mm)
I have set a tool with .5mm cut per pass.
I am trying to set the cut depth and can't find a way that works consistently.
Setting Rapid Height, Cut Start and Cut Depth in Layers tab doesn't seem to work (I have tried -ve and +ve numbers in there) and the numbers are sometimes overwritten inexplicably. Resultant Gcode is simply one pass usually at Z=0.
If I use the Set Depth option for the whole chain this sometimes changes the Cut Depth in "Layers", sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes then the resultant Gcode output shows multiple passes, sometimes it doesn't. When it does it also inserts an extra line before each pass where the Z is dropped to the maximum "Set Depth". Somtimes the Extents change to show the Set Depth as the min Z, sometimes they don't. Sometimes an etirely unexplained number appears in the extents.
Overall a bit confusing to me.
Can someone explain how to use the Layers tab and the Set Depth option properly?
Thanks
