Mach3 under Vista / Optimizing windows 7 for dedicated Mach 3

« on: October 30, 2012, 11:08:42 PM »

I am searching for instructions on how to optimize Windows 7 to run Mach 3 most efficiently. I just bought new Dell Inspiron 660. I am a Mac user learning Windows.

At this point I want to consider Vectric Cut 2D. I like the interface with the previews.

I had tried optimize...didn't use clean. I went back and optimized and cleaned but that would not connect the chains. I had added points to my original Illustrator drawing (hint I saw in a video online). I went back to the original simplified version and it imported as one chain. I am slowing making progress.
Thanks

LazyCam (Beta) / LCam Mill chains not logically arranged

« on: October 27, 2012, 01:43:46 PM »

My simple test design (kind of a warped star) created in Illustrator and saved as emf is divided up into chains, but there are segments of some chains that have other chains connecting them (filling in gaps). It has rapids going all over the place. What can I do to create a proper chain order and have a simple tool path for a pocket cut? I do try to find these answers before posting and hope to get more proficient at it.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. I can't get the Lcam screen to default to the original format so the chains are left and the path art is on the right...I haven't found that in the manual.
My biggest fear is that the software is quirky and I am spinning my wheels.
