Problem with new cutout function

jfw · August 2, 2026, 11:00pm

The Start Depth in the new cutout feature in V8 is not working. I can set it to any value and the simulator still starts the cutter at zero Z. G-code also doesn’t show the correct start depth. Can anyone verify this for me? So far I only have ChatGPT agreeing.

Can you upload the .c2d file that shows this happening?

It looks like a unit conversion problem- the fields are working, but they’re all in metric. It’ll be fixed in the next release.

Thanks Rob, that was quick. Cutout works fine in simulation for inches now. Will try in on wood. I told Chatgpt the bug was fixed and it wanted some credit I think (see attachment).
