Mill Wizard Heights Question. Correct Forum??
« on: April 20, 2023, 04:57:24 PM »
The last message posted in the Mill Wizard subsection here seems to be from 2018; I'm not sure where the current discussions are hosted.

My question has to do with a Rapid Height error message.

My inputs in the Job Settings screen are as follows:

Rapid Height 15.00 (Z15)
Clearance Height 3.00 mm (Z height above work surface)

My inputs in the actual job (Bolt Hole Circle) are as follows:

Z Top 5.00 (Z 5)
Z Depth 1.00 (Z 1)

So far, so good. However, if I raise Z top to 6.00 I get an error message "Rapid Height below Top of Work".

How can the Rapid Height of Z15 be below the Top of Work Height of Z6? My clearance, which the manual says is a distance and NOT an absolute value, is at 3.00mm, or Z6 (top of work) + 3.00 (clearance distance) = Z9.
