Title: cant load *.Lcam into mACH3
Post by: bfairey on February 04, 2009, 10:08:50 AM

I import a *.dxf file into Lcam, it does its thing and I save it *.Lcam
When I try and load it into Mach3 all it does is flash a "load" sign.
What gives

You need to post the g-code from LazyCAM. The code should automatically load into Mach.

.Lcam files is just a saved version of your LazyCAM "project".

OK done that, it says its saved as a *.tap file under Mach3/gcode
but whats its done is save it as a *.xfa file under Mach3
BUT without prombting it did load it onto the Mach3 screen
and I was able to run it.
BUT what is *.xfa???
And why doesnt it save it under Mach3/gcode as a */tap file???
