I have been playing around with CC for a few weeks now and I think its a great bit of software, and I love how quickly you are updating it and taking on board suggestions.

I notice that CC go to the retract height quickly (G0), but when it comes down it moves from the retract height to the new cutting depth at the plunge rate (G1), which can be quiet slow in a lot of air.

I think it would be better for it to move from the retract height to Z=0 with a G0 code, and then from Z=0 to the new depth using G1

Bonus marks if it knew what level the material was at that position (e.g if its already cut a load out), then it could G0 to the top of the new work surface at that position not just Z=0.

I think this could speed some jobs up a quiet a lot.

I also noticed that it does a move to the tool path zero at the very start of a job as an X Y Z, I think it would be much safer for that to be 2 lines with the Z retract first, followed by the X Y move.

Sorry if its already been mentioned and added to a road map, but I couldn’t find a road map to check before I posted. If this is one, please feel free to point me towards it and I’ll have a read though before I post any more suggestions.

Regards

Ben
