General Mach Discussion / new to lazyturn, help!

« on: March 14, 2015, 08:33:01 AM »

just starting with lazyturn to hopefully create gcode for my emco compact 5 cnc.

Am creating dxf files in Qcad which lazyturn happily loads and displays. can create tool paths and run the simulation. However i am totally failing to save the gcode, I use the PST button but the file is created empty. I have tried selecting the toolpath before using PST to no avail.

what am I doing wrong here?
