How do I cut a sloping line. Say I want the depth to go from 0-2" in a given length.
What’s the problem?
You have the startpoints in 3 axis and the endpoints in 3 axis.
So the code would be i.e.
G0 X0 Y0 Z0
G1 X(given length) Y0 Z-2. F10

SheetCAM is 2/2.5D, which means it won’t generate 3D code. A move that combines X and/or Y with Z is a 3D move. The only 3D moves SC does is lead ramping, and that’s all done automatically.
If you need to just cut one line, then you can tell SC to cut the line at Z = 0 and manually edit the G1 line…like this…
G0 X0 Y0 Z0
G1 X10 Y0 F10
Edit so it looks like this…
G0 X0 Y0 Z0
G1 X10 Y0 Z-2 F10
