LazyCam (Beta) / Lazycam Lines + Arcs

« on: February 07, 2014, 08:05:11 PM »

I converted a gear to DXF. It looked good on Lazycam. The lines and arcs were connected to eachother but they were in different colors. Arcs looked green and Lines looked blue, which meant that the CNC machine treated them differently. So when I try to make the part with the CNC. The CNC spindle starts with the line, then stops, goes up (Z), then comes down and works on the arc, then goes up again and stops, then goes down again and does the line. It treats the arc and line as if they are not one piece ... Very inefficient. So it takes me 4 times as long to finish a part. How do I make lazycam consider the arc and line as one? Attached is an image of what I'm talking about. Thank you!
