LazyCam (Beta) / Re: LazyCam only ouputs 49 lines of g-code?

Thanks for the response Rich.
What would be awesome is if LazyCam or some other system would be able to duplicate the sloping profiles of each spoke from shallow on the outside of the wheel to slightly deeper near the hub.
I do have the simpler profiles loaded in LazyCam now, and it puts out g-code that Mach3 will use, although I have to edit it by hand because it doesn't do Tool Changes correctly, leaving off the "0" if I call for Tool 0. I suppose I should stop being a computer nerd and start numbering my tools at "1".
I'm also trying out Cut2D and that looks pretty good. I especially like how easy it is to modify the elements in the program and preview the toolpaths. Now I just need to find $150 somewhere...
