Export to Gcode - not complete

[jtclose (James Close)]

CM - 622
I have learned to check the gcode before starting a job using NcViewer. In this project I am using CM to export Gcode from a CC764 project for that review.

The operation is a Contour using a #502 engraving bit on cast Acrylic. The DOC is set to 0.010 inches with the max depth of 0.040. CC shows multiple depths of passed as expected

The exported Gcode from CM only exports the first pass.
Has anyone seen this ?

I attached the C2D file.
WhiteCatWool2.c2d (3.4 MB)

Carbide Create shows the multiple passes:

(using the current beta)

and exporting the G-code gets:

...
​G1Z-0.254F381.0
...
Z-0.508
... 
Z-1.016

Seems fine with CM 566 too.

However, I was able to easily overwrite a C2D with the g code. CM 566 actually gave me the default name of .cd2 and asked if I wanted to overwrite it. This is no doubt what was happening to a couple of forum posters a month or so ago. If the current version still does this, it should probably be changed.

@WillAdams What is the file size of the resulting NC file ?
I am not sure how I screwed this up .

Per properties in File Explorer:

604 KB (619,432 bytes)

but I was using Carbide Create Pro to export to G-code… hang on, we’ll test the other way:

Exported using the CM634 beta I get:

597 KB (612,038 bytes)

and the same progression:

...
G1Z-0.0100F15.0
...
Z-0.0200
...
Z-0.0300
...
Z-0.0400

which can be seen in its entirety in this code snippet:

Ok, Thank you. I will try again. Hmmm…

Edit - Oops. I looked for the wrong string match.

Edit 2 - And in NCViewer, I could have looked at the model on XZ or YZ plane and seen the rest of the path.

A case of multitasking gone bad .

Thank you !
