Construction Depth in Non-TOP C-Plane, using Keymapping...

[Niezingerly]

X6 MU2, 64 bit...

 

 

I have a Keymap set, where Alt+` is the Keymap that will access setting the Construction depth.

 

If I am in the TOP C-Plane, Click Alt+`, and then type in a number (.1234 for example), then hit enter, the construction depth will be set to Z+0.1234...

 

If I am in the FRONT C-Plane, and do the same thing, the construction depth is not getting set correctly.

 

If I do this in ANY C-Plane other than TOP, I will not get the Construction depth I want...

 

 

In X3, which was my previous version, I could use a Keymap, and set the Construction depth in ANY C-Plane, and it would work correctly.

 

 

 

Anyone else encountering this?

 

 

 

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah... why not just mouse-click the Construction Depth box, and type in my value...

 

 

I am using this in a Macro, to set a very specific depth, and the keymapping is part of the macro...

 

Now that this is not working, the macro is not giving me the result I want to see...

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

does it make any difference what the 2D/3D toggle at the bottom of the screen is set at??

G-Code, I just tried, it doesn't make a difference...

 

I have found a "work-around", where, in my macro, I set C-Plane to TOP, set my Construction depth using the key mapping, then set my C-Plane to FRONT (for example), and now the construction depth is set correct for the macro to execute the rest of it's steps correctly...

 

 

Thanks.
