General Mach Discussion / LazyCam

We are still deciding on what control software to use but Lazycam is looking good for the g code.  Is it possible to just purchase Lazycam pro as a stand alone package?

General Mach Discussion / Cutting pockets

« on: August 10, 2010, 10:18:55 AM »

I am trying to use Autocad to make different items and cut out pockets to mount items.  I've been watching a lot of videos on this but what seems to be simple is getting past me.  I am making 2d drawings in autocad and importing them into Mach3 with ok results.  However, when it goes to cut the pockets I created in AC, it is just cutting the outline in Mach3.  What do I need to change to make the tool paths to clear out the pockets instead of just outline them?
