Is there a step I am missing when generating code in lazy cam ? I can draw a shape in autocad and get a successful tool path for x an y generated in lazy cam, but what I don't understand is all the z movements in the generated program are without any negetive axis movement. My old allen bradley controller on my mill uses - for any movement toward the work. If I rewrite all the z movements I can run the part program, but know I shouldn't have to do this. What am I missing ? Thanks.

What am I missing ?

A read of the manual which is located in Members Docs.
After you select what you want to machine you need to go to Layer and pick / create a tool defining the tool parameters and the cutting parameters.
See page 39....T1 figure 13

Thanks for your help. I found the manual and am printing it now.
