Yes, I created the drawing in CAD and am using CAM to create my cutter paths in GRBL Offset In. The Z depth for the start point and cut depth are correct. It seems there is a certain area of the drawing that has a Z level set from something else and the Cutter is stepping over this restricted area. ...

I am getting a Z move when GRBL Offset In Coding
I am getting a Z move around one end of a single polyline. I have deleted and redrawn this polyline and am getting the same Z move that shows when using a 3D simulation. I don't know how this is possible from a 2D CAD drawing. I have attached the design file. Please watch the 3D simulation of the Sm...
