need to edit my post help

Post by pomz623 »

My post works perfect except for one this. It lowers my Z first then it positions the X and Y.

Hello,
It sounds like you may want to try to increase the rapid Z gaps above the material first without the need to modify the PP. You can change these settings on the 'Toolpaths' tab under the 'Setup Material' icon which opens the material setup window and allows you to set the Z gaps above the material for both clearance and plunge. I hope this helps in the meantime until you modify the PP.
Best regards,
Wes
