How do I post a dxf file to this page?
I would be doing it from a cd.
Thanks'

P.s. I noticed that Lazycam doesn't seem available for downloading. Is it being fixed?

Hi. I downloaded Lazycam. When I import a Dxf file from Turbocad Design 12, I get some sort of duologue box from Lazycam. This isn't in the video. I don't know what settings to push, so I leave it. Then lazycam crashes. It imports image files ok. Is this a problem with Lazycam, dialogue box isn't set correctly, or is my dxf files not ok?
Thanks

I hooked up lazycam. It imports image files ok, but crashes when I import a dxf file.

I didn't know it existed. I am using a library computer that can't seem to access that particular tutorial. All of the other ones work fine. I don't have internet on my computer. Do I open the lazy cam window, then import dxf? Or do I import dxf, the open lazycam?
Thanks

I use turbocad to design the things to be milled. I import it into mach3 as a dxf file. After that I don't really know what to do. Is there a tutorial for mach3 that teaches how to assign depths etc..?

How do you import a dxf file, convert it to gcode, and assign depths to it?

When I import a dxf file, I get a window that I don't really know what to do with exept hit the convert to gcode button. What are layers? I am just trying ti mill some simple rectangular pockets. I would use the conversational wizard, but my Mach3 did not come with them.
