Title: Drilling holes
Post by: 01sporty on December 20, 2006, 10:57:40 PM

OK, I know this must be simple but it's escaping me.  I have a dxf with two layers.  One layer has a the toolpath and one has holes to be drilled.  How do I drill the holes?  I've drawn the holes both as point markers and as circles and can't find the key to getting LC to drill them.
I'm using LC 2.635.
TIA,
Walt

I have the same problem... :-[
But I have hole in the drawing....and if I transform it with "drill circle" botton the g code come out with  an error..
Must I sign hole with only center point in drawings?

 :D
I discover what's the problem..
I was working with z axis reversed and Lcam don't want negative numbers sometimes in some position..(or generate problems in some gcodes)
now I put z axis in right way ..adjust the negative numbers and everything work ;D
Sorry but I'm a beginner in this type of work..
Thanks again to all
