Hi, Lokey

Post your xml file if you can.

Some axis driver boards are sensitive to LowActive settings in ports & pins, Motor Outputs.

Are all your Low Actives set the same for X, Y & Z, "They should Be". If an axis runs backwards use "Reversed" in  Home & Limits page to reverse It.

This can cause lost Step's.

Hi, Lokey

So are you saying that X is Lousing step's ? , Sent you a PM message.

It could be several issue's, Vel./Accl. set to high, Backlash, Pulse width, Active High/Low setting's in port's & Pin's Setting or a combination of them All.

Hi, Lokey

Looked at your Lset file, I think you need to organize it a little bit more, Think of your dxf as a temp-let to create your part. Hears a .lset file that hopefully will give you a guide to doing what I think you want hear.

Setting the layer depth should be accurate, Click on the LH layer and set the values in the layer tab below.

When you create pockets or offset's don't forget to delete the chaine you used to create them with.

It looks like your starting to get the steps down, Just a steep learning curve.

Hi, Lokey

Set the deepest layer first, Then set layer then set all layers button, Then select a layer and set the new depth with set layer, Should work.

If not post the LCam file and will look at it.

Hi, Art

Hears a Test AA.dxf that brings out some issues, I know it's early on in your cleanup of the new routines. So take a look at if you get a chance.

This is about the same as figuring out the final move's on a Rubik's Cube's last Layer, Thanks for giving us a Pre-view of things to follow.

Edit: replaced the AA file it had an error at Z0.0 start of .0089.

Hi, Russ

The example of your Quick-disconnect I used was modified by me and  I tried several way's/end-point's.

Hi, Russ

I think it's, Rough & Finish/Rough and I'm sure I missed part of the Point's as usual.

Edit: In your dxf, It's missing the RH,  Final/Rough pass, I think.

Just little Diff/Bug's or whatever.

Hi, Russ, Dave & All

Well I tried several LH line end type's and none of them stopped the Undercut.

I was hopping maybe a "Point" would do it, What you think about that,  "Art", For an End point and Separator from one tool to another.
