Hi, Art and Brian
I have been working with lazycam it's really nice I don't now what
functions are implemented at this point. Using Mach3D1.90.028
I have uploaded a file in Lazycam folder test55.dxf a turbocad ver. 8
some time ago never got a responce.
It's a 3 layer dxf one object per layer, hear is what i find.
While layer control shows 3 layer's only layer 0 has objects.
If I click on 0,0 Target, program end's with prompt to send error
report. This is the start point for first object on layer 0, can't set
leadin.
Also if you highlight the first object to move the leadin and click the leadin location the same thing happen's.
I've included an attachment of the file hear
Thank's Chip

Yeah but Art is the layer Guy :) I think in the next 3 or 4 days there it is going to be full time LCAM now that the Grex seems to be running good.

Hi, Brian
If I load this file with lazycam in default as drawn with no leadin's on, then try to set the leadin at the bottom left 0,0 / target, it error's out and want's to send an error code to microsoft, also if I try to set a inside cir. leadin on the triangle, far right side it's on the outside and if you set an outside it's on the inside, just backward's.
Just some problem's to look at.
Thank's Chip

Hi, Art and Brian
Lazycam layer control, nice from Layer Control on off generate's g-code for layer that's on. Shading of layer's in pulldown nice, is it intended to not turn off layer's when g=code is generated.
Lot's of progress really nice.
Hear are some item's to look at though.
File: Test55.dxf located in Yahoo Files Lazycam Folder and at the top of this post.
Load Options, Keep Layer as is (Checked).
Click on Box to move leadin then click on Bull's eye Origin to move leadin, Errors to error report Lazycam shuts down.
If I zoom in some times I can move origin or leadin/start but not offtin and if I reset origin with Layer/Object Property Drawing Origin enter new value, Liadin can be moved then the origin can be moved with min xy button or origin value change but not with mouse click and move.
Click on Triangle set to outside leadin right side of triangle leadin is inside also on outside leadin rt.side is inside. There backward's
Posting Option: unchecked Spindle speed, It gen's spindle g-code
Posting Option: unchecked Z plasma, No display of Cut for first cut due to No G01 generated.
Posting Option: unchecked Spindle and Z plasma, No display of Cut for first cut due to No G01 generated.
No direction arrow's for Cir's
One other item if you load a DXF with lines and curves continues from start to end it generates leadin points at each change even though it's a continues cut, is there a way to remove them.
Thank's Chip
