I have a question. Is there a method to separate the rapid movement of Z that is next to the X and Y coordinates on the same line? this occurs when using the same tool but different retracts on two toolpaths.
example
G2 X50. Y-20.5 I-10.5 J0.
G1 X-50.
G2 X-60.5 Y-10. I0. J10.5
G1 Y10.
G2 X-50. Y20.5 I10.5 J0.
G1 X0.
G3 X3. Y23.5 I0. J3.
G1 Y27.5
G0 Z100. <====== end of first operation
X-63.65 Y3.698 Z20. <====== start of second operation
Z10.
G1 Z1. F5000.
X63.65 F1458.
G0 Z10.
X-63.65 Y-3.698
I would like to separate the Z20. and place it on an independent line so that the movement is not the 3 simultaneous axes.. like this:
G2 X50. Y-20.5 I-10.5 J0.
G1 X-50.
G2 X-60.5 Y-10. I0. J10.5
G1 Y10.
G2 X-50. Y20.5 I10.5 J0.
G1 X0.
G3 X3. Y23.5 I0. J3.
G1 Y27.5
G0 Z100. <====== end of first operation
X-63.65 Y3.698 <====== start of second operation
Z20. <====== second operation retraction
Z10.
G1 Z1. F5000.
X63.65 F1458.
G0 Z10.
X-63.65 Y-3.698
Thanks in advance
I hope it's clear
