Setting the start of the machining position
Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2022 6:35 pm
Hi,
Is it possible in CAM module to set the reference point for the start position of the cutter? Usually, the drawing of the detail is not located close to the default reference point. As a results the machine must perform empty movement (sometimes too long, in my case). I tried to modify values in "CAM Configuration -> Home X, Y" but it has no effect. Although a different path in the QCAD window is seen, the generated code is identical and always starts at the reference point. Simulation in CAMotics software also confirmed that there is no difference. Below are screenshots.
Best Regards
