General Mach Discussion / new guy

« on: October 15, 2015, 09:27:25 AM »

I have mach3 demo version. I am using Sheet cam to create code from DXF files. I can import into mach3 and run the cutting simulation on the screen, but can't get the router to move. I must be missing something. Can someone point me in the right direction to getting the signal to the router. I have the parallel cable connected. 
Thanks

LazyCam (Beta) / New guy

« on: October 09, 2015, 09:01:55 PM »

I have bought a small used cnc router. Just got Mach 3 demo loaded. I tried to load lazy cam and keep getting a win32 cabinet self-extracting screen, application error. I have AutoCAD and would like to import into mach 3 as DXF. at this point I'm wondering if I should try to get Lazy cam loaded or get a new cam program. Like I said I'm new to this, but not new to milling or AutoCAD. Just new to the conversion to gcode part. Any suggestion or words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
