Title: New user questions
Post by: rweatherly on February 13, 2007, 09:36:33 AM

1.  I see 2 LC's in the FTP folder.  What is the difference?

2.  I am trying to clean up a dxf file that is a complete drawing with 2 views and title block, etc.  I want only one view so I can machine it.  On an old LC version, I can click on the view I want, move it to a new layer, then click on the original layer and delete everything I don't want in one step.  In the latest version, the layer breakdown is different for some reason, and I have to click on each line and delete it one at a time.

Is there any way to select several lines or chains and delete them all at once?

Thanks (and it looks like a great program, once I get the hang of it).

Get the newest download of mach3 and you will get the newest Lcam. After you have done that Right click and you will get a drop down menu where you tell it to multi select. After you have selected everything that you like right click again and select "delete selected items"

That should do it

Thanks.  I tried that -- I downloaded the setup for 1.84.002, but it loads the .000 version.  I even uninstalled Mach3 and ran the setup file again.  I still get the .000 version, and there is no Lazycam (of any kind) in the Mach3 folder -- I assume that is where it would be.  The setup file is called Mach3VersionR1.84.002, so it should be correct.

Hi, Rweatherly

To get the latest LazyCam you need to download Mach3R2.0.047, its not in 1.84 series Mach3.

Hope this Helps, Chip

I do not see that version.  Where is it located?

Thanks, I have it now. 

Is there any way to select more than one chain at a time?
