What do you have the backlash % speed correction set to? try setting it down to about 10% and see if you still have the problem

Have been playing with Mach3 for a few days in an attempt to find controller for Plasma machine I'm building. Downloaded latest releases of Mach3 (R2.0.012) and LCam (Rls3.00 1.0.0.1) and have noticed some discrepancies. With all your "free time" I know you probably need something to do. These issues are pertaining to LCam.
When Autocleaning dxf with inside an outside objects, the cut direction for inside should be CCW (G3) to take advantage of the "straight" side of the kerf, and CW (G2) for outside cuts. This seems to be reversed.
Lead-ins and outs...When using a THC and making inside cuts, as the center fall out the torch will dive, possibly causing the tip to hit workpiece and move it. The lead-out needs to be a selectable item for plasma.
Appears that the Pierce Height and Initial Height in Plasma Options are reversed.
When closing a dxf and importing another, it appears that all of the properties for the old one are not all cleared, causing the new one to be named incorrectly when G-Code is generated and posted to Mach3.
With all the "reversals" noted above, I tested my computer for dyslexia and results were negative. Am planning to purchase license shortly if I can get system "settled down" a bit.
Thank you for the team's time and efforts with this whole project. Seems you have a winner on your hands....Herb Edmonds
