I am a newbie using Mach3 and one of my first test was to draw a circle on AutoCad and exported it as DXF R12 file to LazyCam and after I Gcode it the circle was turned into a deformed circle. I have been trying to find something alike on the forum to this problem and I haven’t found it. Please, someone that could help me fix this problem. Thanks in advance, Andrew.
Here is the code.

Looks fine here

Another noob here as well. Eating my NoobCakes here. I did not load your data. But did the same thing in Rhino. Circle with 1 diameter, into LazyCam, into Mach3, into foam. No problems.
My file however, showed plasma mode... Probably because I simply 'ran' through the conversion not looking left or right.

I am sorry to jump into conclusion that fast. The LazyCam is perfect and I apologize for that. I wrote a gcode myself for a circle and got the same deformed cut. I checked the machine and it was loosing steps, something never happen before. I did some adjustment here and there and I got it working perfect. Thanks and forgive me for my mistake. Andrew.
