Change Depth
A limited editing capability is provided. Select any shape and select
‘Change Depth’ in the graphics pull down menu. You are presented
with two choices, ‘Set Depth’ and ‘Move Deeper’. You will see the
same depth value that is selected in the depth value of the selected
material in the Materials menu. If the shape has points at different
depths or more than one shapes are selected, the depth value of the first
point of the first shape is shown.
By changing the value at ‘Set Depth’, the depth of all the points of the
selected shape(s) can will be set. The value entered at ‘Move Deeper’,
however, bodily moves the entire shape(s) down (up if the value is
negative) by that amount. Even if the shape was imported previously as
a 3D DXF or 3D G-code or 3D HPGL type with points at varying
depths, it should be clear that changing ‘Set Depth’ will flatten it at
the new depth, not so with ‘Move Deeper’.
