Title: Drawing size/file difficulties
Post by: Wheelock Auto on April 20, 2011, 01:00:17 PM

Hi all,

I yesterday, I bought the newest versions of Lazycam and Mach 3.  I made a simple drawing, consisting of four chains, in Autocad 2007 (I have been using various versions of Autocad for almost fifteen years), and had it scaled to inches in Autocad.

When I bring it into Lazycam as a DXF, it is either the correct size, or nothing at all appears.  I do not know why my DXFs come up in Lazycam only sometimes, and because of this, I tried exporting the Autocad drawing as a WMF.  In my brief experience, WMFs ALWAYS show up in Lazycam, but are a strange size, so when I bring them into Mach 3, the drawing is HUGE.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Save it as a version 12 dxf.
Post the drawing and the dxf and i will see if i can duplicate your problem.
