    Hi,
    First let me say I love SketchUcam!

    I was wondering if there is a way to set the depth of the centerline cut tool to an absolute value? For instance I am using 5/16" hardboard and need to make 1/16" and 3/16" pockets. If I set the depth to 25% that's 0.078125" (5/64") and if I set the depth to 50% that's 0.15625" (5/32"). Right now I am going through the G-Code to modify the Z values. It would be really cool if there was a way to do this in the script.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt, welcome to the Phlatforum :)
    You can type the depth that you want as a percent and then hit enter for it to take.
    If your wanted a depth of 1/16 from 5/16 material you should set the depth to 20% for 3/16 make it 60%. Remember the the over-cut value is also added so you may want to make the 100%
    Give that a try and see how it works for you. Hope this helps
    Mark and Trish
