Hi.
I have used lazycam for a while now, and also bought it.
I have a problem though. When i do multiple passes, lets say i cut 9mm total with passes of 1mm, the Z goes up to rapid height and/or plunge clearance betwwen each pass...
This is very time consuming and reallly annoying!
I have searched the net for solutions but so far i have found nothing.

Here is an example of code generated with lazycam:

N120 G0  Z2.0000
N125  X15.0000
N130  Z0.1000
N135 G1  Z-1.2500 
N140  X5.0000   
N145 G0  Z2.0000
N150  X15.0000
N155  Z0.1000
N160 G1  Z-1.5000

There must be a solution to this?

Nic,
That is just the way the code is generated for a straight line and you can't do anything in LC about it.

Just thought there was some function in LC that made it possible not to go to Rapid Height for every pass. It does not make sense to go from z-2 to z+2 just to go down to z-3 in the same xy coordinate...

I know the piece of code that i posted is not a good example because of the X changes after each pass.

Is what it is .....nothing more that I know of or can say.
