The attached file contains a milling cut defined as a sub. It starts in the
center of the cut at Z0, feeds down .010", makes a perimeter cut, returns
to the center. If you check this sub in Element Data, the ending Z reads
"Z-0.31", even though this cut will only cut .300" deep. Why?

P.S.
For those of you who want to play with milling subs, I found this method of
programming them to work quite well. To see how to lay it out, group it,
explode it, and delete all elements below Z-0.010. This is the milling pass
you would need to lay out. When you convert it to a sub, just give it the #
of repeats to get the desired depth.
