dynamic optirough setting cut depths

[DCOPE17]

So I'm roughing out a large pocket, Highspeed toolpath with small stepover and deep cut. I want to rough 1.9" deep then, because I have 2" flute length, make another operation to cut to the remaining 3.8" deep. Figured I'd copy the operations and on the first, I'd draw a surface at 1.9 and add it to the geometry so that op would only go 1.9 deep. Then adding more to the wall and floor stock for the remaining depth to keep from rubbing the shank. 

Problem is, how do I start this operation 1.9" deep?

I'm used to the older Mcam where I can set min and max cut depth so I can control when the pocketing starts and stops both the top and bottom. 

 

Any help again is greatly appreciated. .

You can still set min/max, although I haven't used the older Mcam. I believe what you're looking for is under steep/shallow. Check "Use Z depths" then the options become available.

 

Rereading your post. You don't actually have to draw additional geo with this setting. You just set the height you want in the steep/shallow

You can still limit your depth using steep/shallow settings. 

Which version of MC are you using?

Great. It was so simple before, was hoping it was still that way. 

Thanks.

Yep, worked like it used to. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction everyone. 

I was using X4 but now using 2018. Quite a bit of difference between the two.
