G-Code, CAD, and CAM => LazyCam (Beta) => Topic started by: cor on March 02, 2009, 03:38:46 PM

Hello out there,
I am playing arround a bit with lazycam and I cannot set a "cut depth"
I have made a simple straigh horizontal line in dxf, loaded it in lazycam.
When I select the "layers" button. I have "rapid height", "cut start", "cut depth" , by default "cut depth" is 0.
When I enter for example -13 and press the "set all layers" , it does it. But when I post the g-code it is still set at the default setting.
When I select the "set depth" (on the right) button I can set the depth with my mouse and this is than also set in the "cut depth" line, when posted it works fine and the z-ax goes down as ordered.
But why can I not select the "cut depth"in the window and than press the "set all layers" button ??
Hope someone understands this explanation and can tell me what i am doing wrong :(
thanks,
Cor

Hi, Cor
I always use Set to layer, Then Set to All layers, After loading a new File to work on.
With the file you've been using it has really only one Layer "Default" which has a bunch of Chain's in that layer.
If you want to cut part of the file at different depth's you need to move the Chain's to a new layer or a diff. layer.
Then the "set layer" and "set All layers" will make more sense.
