General Mach Discussion / Re: Radius to end of arc differs from radius to start on line number ##

Every thing works perfectly ! Except a scale problem on mach3 (distance divided per 2), but i'll find the solution..


Thank you everybody !

In fact I use a demo version, but I didn't know that demo version was restricting the number of lines. If it's true, I buy it tonight ..

Thank's a lot Ian

Thank you Rich for youre very intelligent response,

I'll read it, but after some research, I think that finally, DXF's files made on Solidworks are quite not compatible with lazycam.


Stirling, thank you for you response. I had this problem only when I was using Import dxf's file's option on Mach3, now with lazycam, there is no radius problem, excepted a wrong or unfinished piece.


Can I post one of my dxf files then you try to open it on lazycam ?

Thank's

Ps : there is a DXF attached, after using lazycam, I get this quite wrong g-code :

Exactly ... thank you.. I thoughr I understood all  with loading directly DXF files... I think I have to restart since the beginning, using lazycam makes wrong or unfinished pieces..

Thank you

Okay thank you very much ...

I still don't understand why Mach3 allows users to import DXF files...


Let's find a good cam ..


Thank you again !

I do not undersdand,

I make my DXF file on solidworks,  import it to Mach3 and I generate Gcode with Mach3 ..

So I set mach3 to INC, but it does'nt work !

I am sorry if I am missing something ..

Okay, that sounds good, I use SolidWorks to make my DXF's files.  I'll try to find any solution on it ..

Thank you

Good morning everyone, and thanks for any help you will be able to bring to me..

I meet a problem using Mach3 mill, when I load some gcode files using arcs, Mach3 gives me the error written in the title.

I read some similars topics, and tried to change IJ mode to "Inc" instead of "Absolute", but everytime I import my DXF file, the IJ mode switch automatically in "Absolute"..

Can you help me ?


Thanks a lot.

William
