Change order of x/y pos and z- at start of prog

Post by ZX-Sinclair »

Hello,

i'm a milling newbie and don't know how to change the order of the x/y positioning and the positioning of z at the start of program.
At the moment the mill dives to +2mm and then it rushes to the x/y position.
For safety i want at first the x/y pos. and then the z +2mm.
How can i handle that?

In Options->Job Options you can change the Rapid Clerance. It may help.

I tried it, but the mill moves to that height ALWAYS. It's horrible during milling small contours or open paths.

Go to Options->job options->tool change and turn on 'No move to save Z after tool change'. The first positioning move will then be at whatever height the machine starts at.
