In Vector, select the vector you want. Click edit cut, and then edit paste. Input your z depth as a minus and input the number of copies/passes you want to make. If you have a minus .75 and you want to cut .25 in each of 3 passes you put in 3 copies.

Then without deselecting the copies, Draw-Other Curves- connect at z.

If you still are having problems you can call me at 419 947-8186.

In Shopbot software, when you run the program (fp file part execute) in the dialog box simply put in the percentage in the z and run the program what ever number of time you need to. i.e. .33 will give you one pass at .25 then run the next fp put in .66 and so on.
