Pencil Z Control

You can increase control over the machining by entering the Z Limit in the Cleanup and Pencil functions. Specifying the Z layer helps to control machining coverage of the part and also increases predictability.

1. Load the Cleanup & Pencil Z control.elt file.
   Notice the Pencil procedure in the second toolpath (named PENCIL).
   

2. Duplicate the procedure and edit the duplicated procedure. Set the Z Limits to Top & Bottom.
   

3. Set the parameters for the Z Limit as shown in the following image:
   

4. Toggle between the two procedures to view the difference.
   
   The Pencil motions are now limited in both directions: top and bottom.
