dxf import cutter clearance between moves
Posted: Wed 05 Mar , 2008 12:06 pm
How do you change the cutter clearance between moves when using the DXF import? We need to do this to avoid 'crashing' into billet fixtures.
If I understand you correctly, you can adjust the clearance Z height by altering the Z Retract Height at the end of the CAM wizard.
(You may need to update to the latest version of V5 to see this feature -previous version were fixed at 2mm height clearance between moves)
In QuickCAM 2D, you can change this setting in the post processor file here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford\Posts
Select the post you are using and change the line
safe2=2 to say safe2=10 for a 10mm stand off
