AL 0.8.7 - X,Y Length Zero

Post by Brtdead »

I'm having problems setting the etch depth correctly, it seems to be cutting too deep. Anyway made a small test circuit (approx 20x20mm) using FlatCam - after loading in AL something is going wrong. The GCode (attached) loads fine in Mach3.

Looking at your file, I do not see where the Z axis is going negative. It appears that it is 1.01 positive in reference to the surface of the board!

G00 X7.3990Y5.3815
G01 Z0.0100
G01 X7.3927Y5.5064

maybe if you change that to a z-1.0100 it might work.
