Rich,

You were right on.  Mach3 is accepting exactly 50 lines of code.  Just checked my versions of Mach3 and Lazy Cam.  Mach 3 is running a demo version, Version R2.63.  Lazy Cam does not state that it is a demo version.  It is version 2.61.  Guess I need to order some software.

Thanks for your help.

LazyCam (Beta) / Posting G Code from Lazy Cam

I am new to the forum and the reason I joined was to get help with a Lazy Cam posting problem I have.  I recently purchased a CNC Engraver from a shyster E Bayer.  The engraver came with Mach3 CNC and Lazy Cam.  I've never done CNC but being somewhat technical I thought I could pick it up enough to at least engrave some plastic placards.  My problem is that I imported a simple Autocad.dxf file of a rectangle and used Lazy Cam to add four letters of text.  I then posted the file to Mach 3.  The engraver starts engraving beautifully then just stops part way into the third letter.  When I examined the G code I noticed not all of the code posted.  I tried this numerous times with the same result each time.  Everything seems to be in place in Lazy Cam but the posting truncates the file.  I just read a forum response that implied that the version of Lazy Cam I have may be a trial version and the posting is stopping at 50 lines.  Is this my problem?  Thanks for any feedback.

Mike
