Cutting before any depth was set

What the converter says

cutting move before any depth was set; expected a G1 Z plunge after the first G0

Code: cut_no_depth

What triggers it

A cutting move appears before the program has plunged. The working depth is written into the PGM header and into every motion record, so it must be known before the first cut.

G0 X492.923 Y221.021 Z-81.000 T43
G2 X492.812 Y214.536 I301.030 J221.047

Example that triggers it

How to fix it

Insert a plunge between the opening G0 and the first cut, for example G1 Z10.000 V600.
