Hi there
Here's the problem: I am running a machine with a touchprobe( manual toolchange). If I run individual toolpaths from a group where all of the tools are labeled as T1 I have no problem...If I run all of the toolpaths as a group, I encounter a message that asks me for a preparation move which then plunges into the material after Cycle start....(ends up with a differant Z level) Lets see if i can explaine this a bit better:
1) profile cut 12.7mm cutter
2) profile cut 12.7mm cutter
3) pocketing 11.9mm cutter
4) pocketing 11.9mm cutter
5) pocketing 11.9mm cutter
6) pocketing 11.9mm cutter
7) pocketing 11.9mm cutter
pocketing 11.9mm cutter
9) zlevel finish 12.7 bullnose this is where it goes pearshaped after the touchprobe sequence!!!
Is the problem caused by the fact that I have named all the tools as T1 or is it from something else?
