Title: Pulling my hair out
Post by: brentwford on April 21, 2007, 08:43:59 AM

Hi guys; Here are 2 screen shots. One of the autocad file I want to cut and a second of the LazyCam import. Anyone know why this is happening? I've been messing around with this on and off for a week now and haven't made any progress. :-\

Thanks and have a good one.

Save the dxf out of acad in R12 or 2000 format and try again.

Hi; I tried exporting in both r12 and 2000 dxf format. Still loads into Lazycam the same.

thanks for the suggestion though.

It loads fine into my CAD system, no problems found in the file, but I can't get LCAM to load it correctly ether, I think this is one for Brian.

I have sent it to him for his comments.

Hmmm, I just installed 2.0.065 of Mach3 and the LazyCam version is listed as 2.0.060. Does not work here, same problem. I wouldn't mind trying the Beta of LazyCam but can't seem to get logged in to the FTP site. Thanks so much for the help.

This should be fixed with the new version that we have :) ... The new importer has a bug and we are waiting for the bug fix at this time... Man is it ever a ton of work to get all this stuff working :)
