Title: Plus & Minus (rectangular pocket)
Post by: VernFerg on October 20, 2012, 01:31:04 PM

I have a problem with the rectangular pocket.
When I set the  step depth to + as my y axis is – at the top and + down
it only goes  minus no matter what sign I use. I have to edit the Gcode
to change from minus  to Plus or am I doing something wrong ?? I updated to the
latest version but it does the same as v2.79. or a Bug maybe, and yes I press ENTER to save
I am a programmer so I know about bugs LOL

I assume you mean Z axis? Plus at the top and - going down is the standard for G code. You ought to change the settings to the standard convention or else the wizards will not work right.
