Title: only smal part in mach3 3
Post by: homecockpitbuilder on April 19, 2007, 04:57:53 PM
Hello,

When i put a dxf file in lazycam (newest version oncl mach3) and export it to mach3 the file only has a little part of the complete drawing on the tooltable. It is show in a jellow striped box and when i run the router it stops when it's on the stripe. Is this a problem somone now how to fix that?

Kind regards:
Bas

Is Mach running as a demo, you can only process 1000 lines of code in the demo and your file is 5600 lines long.

The Mach3 licence covers the basic LazyCAM, if you want the pro version of LazyCAM its $50.00 more

Sorry it should have been a SPLINE :)

That is a line that has knot points making it bend in odd ways! We are looking into making them work but it takes time :(

Thanks
Brian
