General Mach Discussion / Complete circles from nowhere?
« on: August 05, 2007, 08:28:16 PM »
I have just started using LazyCam Pro under vista (Mach3 2.4).
It's great! And for the most part really lets me get to what I need
to do quickly. Now for the confusion.
I created a dxf text letter in my cad program (designcad) .
I opened the DXF file in Lazycam. Everything looked great!
Then I pocketed the letter using .125 inch as my mill size.
Again all looked well.
I posted the G-code and flipped over to Mach3.
This is where it got strange. It looks like as it was doing
curves it tryed to do a small section of curve but instead
did a complete reverse circle.
Probably obvious but not to me. Any ideas.
Thanks
