Z negative will not post
« on: December 10, 2011, 05:12:41 PM »
Suddenly my Z will go to safe Z height then the X and Y will move to the first cut but the Z only goes to zero.  I looked a the g-code from lazycam and sure enough there is no Z negative posted.   I tried three times to convince lazycam that depth of cut is -0.275 and sent it to all layers but no luck.

It has always worked until today and I don't think I changed anything.   

Background:  Post DXF to lazy cam, autoclean, select tool, post to all layers.  Set cut depth, post to all layers.  Go to Mach3, load .tap file.  Look at the first few lines and no negative Z  shows up...only safe Z at 1 inch, then the move command then Z .000 f5 which should read Z-.275 f5.

I'm open to suggestions Thanks  Gumball

What does the graphic window display in LC show?
It will reflect your settings.  Post a pic of the Layers tab flyout which shows the settings.
