LazyCam (Beta) / Re: pocket with islands

I pushed the pocket routine to the max this weekend. I thought I could make it crash but it did this pocket
with 25,454 lines of code without complaint.

That is a 7" long nameplate x 1" wide. Did the complete thing with a 1/32" end mill with 70% stepover.

Lazy Cam and Mach3 ROCK!

Graham, Thats great it works! I have no idea what I was doing wrong.

Brett, That avatar is actually a picture of me taken after two hours of trying to figure out LazyCam pockets by myself.

It pays to throw out the Machsupport lifeline.

These guys are great.

Thanks for all y'alls help.

How do you pocket with islands?

I watched the Lazycam pocketing video.

They demonstrate pocketing inside a square and Lazcam avoiding another square inside the first one.

See attached dxf. It has three small squares inside of one large one.

I want to pocket inside the large square and avoid the three smaller ones.

How to do this?

Is there some way of quickly finding out the current version levels of all products?

You guys work very hard and FAST at evolving the products.

This is great on one hand but very frustrating to us trying to keep up.

Is there one file that lists all the revision history and bug fixes or improvements?

Thank you for the hard work you guys put in.
Mach3 is absolutely great!

Google ttftodxf

That's True Type Font to DXF.

Free all over the place and works pretty well
