General Mach Discussion / Re: setting multipul milling depths

« on: March 06, 2006, 08:30:24 PM »

in lazy cam
i click on the first circle

#of chains 2
layers1
primitives2

chain id 0
cut#1
depth 1.00

i click on the second circle

#of chains 2
layers1
primitives2

chain id 1
cut#1
depth 1.00

if i change the depth on one the second one changes over and matches the depth of the other one as you can see
a vid would be great
also when i run a program in mach 3 it'll run for a while and then start jerking or stop. coulde this be a ram issue. i have 168 megs on the computer or a windows problem. i've tried to strip wn2000 down the the min.
thanks for the help giosig

when i set the depth for the first one and try to change the depth for the second one it changes the first one to the same as the second. i'm not doing something right

hi
I'm new to Mach 3 is there an easy way to set different cutting depths in the same part file with out haveing to edit g codes? i had a shop-bot and in their software all i had to do was assign the depth to what ever colors i had drawn in the part file.  simply. if i have two circles in a file how do i mill one deeper than the other one
thanks giosig
