General Mach Discussion / Re: When importing g code, will Z setting in Mach3 conflict with import setting?

Mach3 as I see it always makes the surface of material being machined as zero. Does industry standard also say that cutting depth is always a negative number ? , this being below surface.
Mach3 let's you set Z zero wherever you want it.
However, it is the standard, which is why you see everyone doing it.
