LazyCam (Beta) / Re: lazycam pro not importing dxf's

I can get the rapid ht, cut start & dut depth to stay for one file, but when I close it, then re-open, it's all reverted back to 0.  I even set them with no file open & tried closing then re-opening, back to 0.  Also, can you do offsets with the version that comes with a Mach3 lic. or is that only an option available in Pro?  The other thing is that I have gotten it to post g-code for a file, but it does not export it all, multiple pieces in the drawing, but only partial of one piece shows up in Mach3 when I load the g-code that LCam posted.  I'm baffled.

Thanks again for the help. Here's the other file I'm trying out with, will not post full code.

Thanks RC & Chip, I'll try setting up some tools & saving it by closing.

Also, whi does LazyCam output a default Z of 60 inches?  I have to go change it in each layer, rapid height, plunge rate & feed rate are all at a default of 60, can I change this?

I am having trouble getting lazycam to open .dxf files.  I generate them in ACAD, if I make one using a closed polyline, then it says no entities.  I explode the polyline & it will open it, but when I generate the g-code, there are parts missing.  Here's one simple file that it opened, but left out parts of the rectangular outline.  Is there a setting somewhere in LazyCam I am missing?
