Hi All,

I've solved it!
For anyone else with a similar problem, you need to "Clean" the drawing in LazyCam to prevent it from inserting Z0.0000 instructions.

To the developers of LazyCam:  Is this a bug? Or is there a reason why these instructions are inserted?

Thanks all.
Mark.

Thanks for the reply docltf I tried your way, and it worked fine.

However the first stage was cutting a jig in a piece of wood to hold the final job, the jig was cut, but then the job sits on top of the jig and I don't have the option of setting 0.000 as the point touching the work. 

Surely there is a way to stop LazyCam inserting these random Z0.0000 instructions into the G-Code?

What is the point of these instructions??
Is there an option in LazyCam to change the point to something like the safe Z?

Cheers, Mark.

Hello All,

I have a simple dxf file of a rectangle, and i want to cut a groove into a piece of wood, I have set the layer to:

Rapid height: 35.00
Cut Start: 30.00
Cut Depth: 10.00

The tool is set to do 2mm per pass, so after 10 passes I should have my rectangular slot.

But Lazy Cam inserts a Z0.0000 instruction at the start of a straight cut, which apart from destroying the job, ruins the bits in the mill.

Does anyone know how to stop this??

Thanks.
