A. Sometimes we do not use the "connect at Z" function of Vector because we have already drawn the whole toolpath in the AutoCad DXF. Let us say that we drew the "moves" in blue and the "jogs" in green.
How can we get Vector to assign M3 code to the blue and J3 code to the green?
B. Sometimes we simply want to cut an exploded spline at constant depth (Z=0). Vector reads it fine, but gives J3 code for all the little line segments.
What settings should we tinker with to influence Vector's decision process as to whether a line segment is a jog or a move?
(Have Vector 8 and using millimeters)
