Hi all,

I'm using rough/pocket with spiral to machine a pocket that has a bunch of
islands in it.   I imported the file as a dxf,  the islands have several
different heights,  these came in on different layers,  I assigned each
layer a level of -1"  (the material is 1" thick)  and I assigned a prof top
according to the height of that island.  (ie: -.25", -.375" etc).

I gave the boundary a level of -1 and a prof top of 0".  Then I overode the
first pass level and the final pass level to be -.0625 (my depth of cut per
pass) and -.48" (the total depth I want to cut to).

I told it to avoid grouped islands and do a island top pass.  Then I
selected the islands.  When I press go it only generates toolpath to a depth
of -.1875" or 3 passes.  There are no islands at this level and no matter
what I do it stops generating after 3 passes.

Am I doing anything wrong here?  I don't think so.  I'm stuck here at work
until I finish this since I need to run it overnight tonight.  I am out of
ideas.  If you have any I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
