General Mach Discussion / Re: Is this drawing too much for LazyCam?
« on: January 03, 2007, 12:50:01 PM »
Hi Chip,
It was still all messed up. I threw that file away and redrew the part and now it's working fine. I had a similar problem with a different drawing last night but I redrew it and then it was fine. It's got to be something that's happening while drawing in TuboCad Mac that's causing it, but whatever it is it's beyond me at this point. One thing I learned through this ordeal is to draw my TC files in a single layer and then add additional layers to it while in LazyCam. Maybe that's not the correct way to go about it, but for now it's what works.
The main problem here is that I'm trying CAD CAM and CNC all at once and I'm in a rush because I can't afford much more down time in the shop. It's all sinking in little by little but it's still very easy to get confused.
thanks for your help,
Mike
