Engrave tool path with multiple depths not working

Hi All, 

I've encountered what I think is a bug with Engrave. When I make the tool path after selecting the Geometry without modifying any other parameters it works fine. But, as soon as I select Multiple Depths under the Passes tab, if the cut depth is less than my Maximum Stepdown depth it does not generate the tool path on those selected contours. The Multiple Depths seems to work on the cuts that are going deeper than the Maximum Stepdown depth but it seems to just skip over the contours that don't need to go that deep. Is there a known work around with this issue? I'll try to include some screen shots of what it's doing with and without Multiple Depths checked. 

 

Note: I posted this on a different forum and someone suggested I post it in the Manufacture Forum instead. I'll try to remove the other post to not have any confusion. 

Thanks

The workaround is to have multiple toolpaths, with Multiple Depth turned on when it's needed and not, when it's...not. It sucks, and it's something that's "on the list"

Thanks for the reply. Good to know moving forward so we can just do it with the workaround instead of wasting time trying to troubleshoot.
