i see. that makes sense. i have the lazycam option, it seemed fairly complicated but i have all the manuals, n will play with it more. reminds me of the fanuc cam programs i used in college to import n run 2d cad files.   is there a manual specifically for lazycam? i didnt see one labeled as such

im having a new problem....trying to import dxf files, and generate g code off them. problem is, the instructions say to go to "file, import" but when i open the drop down menu, import is not there. except import g code. any suggestions?

set up all my ports and im bangin on all cylinders now, jogging both directions, motors reversed so + - are all working properly. just trammed my head with my Indic-all (took some thinking, took it apart and put one of the rods in the 1/4" collet). if anyone is curious how to indicate the head on a taig mill (cnc or manual) i have an easy way!

for tonight or tomorrow i plan on mounting and indicating my vice, setting machine home and limits, and then setting up the vice as a fixture within my mach3 profile. if this is simple enough i will set up my second vice as well.  i believe the manual (which i wisely printed) should cover the vice aspect well enough. u have all been incredibly helpful. many thanks again

i think we are getting off on a tangent here. this machine is just being set up, hasnt even been jogged yet (part of my frustration!!). in fact, the set up instructions recommended i unplug my driver from my pc, so the machine isnt even hooked up. yet still the program will not run. it passed the driver test with excellent results...my pc is used, and has other ppls garbage on it, should i labotomize it completely clean and re install mach?
