Edmund,
Have look at the LazyTurn Manual - Appendix "B" located in Members Docs. I t talks about common mistakes made in CAD.  The errors are generic.

Hello Chip,
      tried out the gcode for the distributor rocker, matl used as a test was Delrin, the finished sizes were spot on, I will probably make the real part from Bakerlite or Tufnol, I would like to thank you for getting me going, and at the same time I have picked up a few learning curves for myself,

When I get the parts finished and assembled I will attach a photo, in the mean time here are a couple of photos attached to give you some idea,

Again thank you,.........Edmund.........

Have a license?It won't post code for the advanced features.
Posting options are in section 6.2.2 of the manual.
Look in the default directory and see if the file was saved there. You need to have Mach open to directly post to
Mach and Mach is limited in the number of lines if you have no locense for it.

Hello Rich,
      after a half dozen emails with Scott re Mach Licence, last night I finally got Mach3 licenced and running, by copying from the Mach3 file on my shop machine and pasting, I have just checked Mach3 file in the faulty computer, I have three licences listed Mach1.dat, WizLic.dat, and Newfangled Wizard lic, cannot see licence for Lazycam in any of my three computers and the two in the shop work perfectly,
