Lcam 2.0...

[Brian Barker]

Hello,
Lcam Rev 2.0 is out and there is a video on line telling you a bit about how it works... you can't do Foam with this version (So if you need that please Do NOT Install Rev 2 at this time) . Please try this version and tell us what you think and I also think that you will find many things that you have asked for in this version

One known bug is that you can't do turn in Dia mode ... I have to do a bit more work in that section But Mill and plasma should be working...


Thanks
Brian

[Brian Barker]

If you can find a way to break it every time we can fix it   I will keep an eye out for that problem..

Chip, I didn't tell anyone but there are a few more words in the posting word list. You and a few others are the only ones that have made posts for Lcam and I just wanted to tell you. I will be making a Doc for posting but it will be after we are done adding to it.

Have fun guys and keep telling us what you need
Brian

1. Duplicate. line in lower left Square is missed by old and new LC, with Remove Redundant lines Checked or Un-Checked, Load Options.

2. Dots are missed in Layer_3_ Dot, with Remove Dots Checked or Un-Checked Load Options, or with Layer Enabled Checker, Old ver Worked.

Jumped the gun hear Previous Post, "The problem of moving origin with mouse is working fine with new Ver., Never could get it to work hear with Prev. Versions".

3. What I find is If I load the Attached file and don't zoom in on the Origin Marker first and Move it, LC errors to Windows error report.

Once I've moved it and double click to default size window it seems to work fine from then on, Sofar.

I have the same version of Visual Studio you use, If I could get some partial source code, New or Old that covers this type of Origin move and  a little guidence from someone maybe we could track this problem down and be done with it.

I've reported this before with Debug of program with EXE file but its in Assembly code, Guess this is hard to work with,

I have the time and computer with this problem, Would like to help on this if you have a way, This problem is causing a few others problems also.

Another Great Advance In New LC, This is So-----Nice.

Thanks, Chip

Hi Art and Brian,

Well... ya got my money today... gladly given. Great improvements. Remarkable what you guys can do with no sleep, and chatting on the net everyday! 

The first thing I tried was Turn, since that is what I need the most... I have a couple of other MillCAM apps.

I can't seem to get g-code output. I read the thread on dxf prep, and tried the AOuterProfile.dxf sample. All the steps seem to go through, but no roughing or finish profiles are generated.

I did get one other dxf to work, but it was a non-conforming version. The g-code had some way out there values for "K"?

Here are my files and images for your spare time perusing.

Here's the rest...
