Hi Brian,

No apparent change after clicking Clean, other than a redraw of the panels.

Another question... when creating an offset, how do you turn off toolpath for the original profile (OUTSIDE)?

Thanks, Paul, Central OR

Hi Art,

Here's the screenshot of my Offsets attempt, Along with the Turn profiles form the other computer.

Thanks, Paul

Hi Graham,

You have inspired me to say.... Duhhhh! 

That's what I get for trying something while running on vapors.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

Hi Art,

I'm even more confused... I installed Mach3 .65 and LazyCam 2.1 on another shop computer and LazyCam fails to start. The Application Error dialog says: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc150002). Click OK to terminate the application.

Repeated attempts to launch give the same result. I uninstalled both Mach3 and LazyCam, and emptied the Mach3 folder except for my license.dat's. Then did a fresh install of both apps... still no LazyCam launch. Mach3 runs fine.

Thanks, Paul, Central OR

Hi Art & Brian,

Getting back to LCam Turn... using ver 2.0.1, I tried creating G-code. I modified the dxf so the profile extends beyond the right and left ends so the previous artifacts would be off the finished profile. I figured I would jusr edit the G-code to take out the paths on the ends.

However, there are other errant toolpaths that cut into the profile. The toolpath takes a straight line, rather than following the arc defined by the G2/G3 command. I haven't verified the I&K values yet, but suspect the locations are the issue. Sidenote... the "k" placed in the code is lower case, while other letters are caps.

Attached are my modified dxf, and the G-code generated.

Thanks guys, Paul, Central OR

Hi Art,

Here is the new "clean" drawn outline that does not produce an Offset.

Thanks, Paul, Central OR

Hi Art,

Here are my current .dxf, .Lcam and .xml files I'm using with LazyCam Pro ver 2.01.

Thanks yet again for the continuing growth of this app.

Hi Art,

Another thing happening here is a Debug Error shows up when closing LCam after trying the Offsets. It doesn't happen when closing LCam without doing any work.

Thanks agian, Paul
