ok, i am using autocad to draw up the cut, and save it as DXF and using lazycam to convert it to G Code.
the issue i am running into is, when i got the g code out and load it up with Mach3, it show my cut is about 10X time smaller or bigger than the size i wanted.
i try set the unit in autocad as inch and MM.
if i set unit as inch in autocad, when i load into mach 3, it's 10X smaller.
if i set unit as mm in autocad, when i load into mach 3, it's 10X bigger.
i am using acad.dwt template, but when i use acadiso.dwt template. the DXF file save from that template, the lazycam won't load it for some reason.
where did i do wrong?
is there a better program than autocad? i am new to CNC so only doing 2D cutting for now.
