Deep Engraving
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This feature is used when the object in the editor should be marked several times at different Zheights, e.g. to do deep engraving on a material. The dialog can be accessed via the menu Mark → ZSettings.

Mark-Z

Figure 437: Deep Engraving Dialog

This is how this feature works:

1. Loop: Z = Start

2. Loop: Z = Start + Step*1

3. Loop: Z = Start + Step*2

...

i. Loop: Z = Start + Step*(i-1)

...

n. Loop: Z = End - Step

After last marking the Depth is equal to End, because the last marking is at End - Step and erodes the Step value. The Z-Settings are being stored within the job file.
