Z Profile

[sqatch]

Does anyone know how to stop X move before Z move when cutting Z profiles in goround? This is causing a groove to be cut at the start/stop point. I can edit the post but it is a lot of work.

Do you think it can be compensated for at the CAD stage?

I have played around with drawing the profiles in different directions. No matter which way I draw the profile it still moves X first then Z. I think I have gone through all of the parameter settings no answers there either. Editing the post was not such an ordeal, only 28 lines and the product turned out perfect. Still I cant help thinking I am missing something simple.

Squatch,
have a look at this file.
I have used all your profiles and contours but on the goround command I have used approach and depart moves of 0.1" these also allow you to specify Z moves before or after .

I have renamed it to profile cut3 so it doesn't overwrite.

Thanks for that info the post came out fine with Z then X. Your the best.
