What did you find by swapping your motors? It sounds to me like a hardware problem They are VERY hard to find at times!
Best of luck and we are here to help.

I have tested it here and it still looks good... Try the following and tell me if you miss steps

From X0.0 A0.0
G00 X.1 A180

and

From X0.0 A0.0
G00 X3 A.1

Do you have a problem?

Thanks

You have to round the corners and that is how ever cam system is going to do it... There are ways to stop from doing this but as soon as you say connect the lines you are opening up a world of problems... Here is a Pic of a highend Cam system that is $15,000.00 and you see they do it the same way... Is there a problem why you can't cut an arc?

I will look into getting the offset to work with Multi select.. we didn't think of the   But I LOVE the idea!

I will see if I can find a setting that will make it not work... Could you send me your Lcam.XML? That will give me your settings and tell me a bit more about why it is not working for you.

You don't want to have sharp corners because if you have an angle that is small it will get a very long point. The best thing to do is to round the corner.

Okay, Looks like I need to play with it and see if I have that problem... It was bad but after Art redid the VB hooks in Mach3 it has been working very well for me...

Here is how they are doing it in VB

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim ProcId As String
        ProcId = Shell("C:\Mach3\Mach3.exe /p Mach3Mill", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
        Me.TopMost = True
    End Sub

(thank you Dave)

The just send the key commands to Mach3... Or if you are good you could write a DLL that you could talk to that is part of machs SDK...

You need to use an offset of .125 because you are inputting the tool Rad not the dia (It is a typo and it is getting worked on) I have run it here and I got it to offset.

Thanks
