LazyCam (Beta) / Posting G Code from Lazy Cam
« on: December 28, 2008, 05:19:37 PM »
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
