I am new to the forum and the reason I joined was to get help with a Lazy Cam posting problem I have. I recently purchased a CNC Engraver from a shyster E Bayer. The engraver came with Mach3 CNC and Lazy Cam. I've never done CNC but being somewhat technical I thought I could pick it up enough to at least engrave some plastic placards. My problem is that I imported a simple Autocad.dxf file of a rectangle and used Lazy Cam to add four letters of text. I then posted the file to Mach 3. The engraver starts engraving beautifully then just stops part way into the third letter. When I examined the G code I noticed not all of the code posted. I tried this numerous times with the same result each time. Everything seems to be in place in Lazy Cam but the posting truncates the file. I just read a forum response that implied that the version of Lazy Cam I have may be a trial version and the posting is stopping at 50 lines. Is this my problem? Thanks for any feedback.
