LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Offset malfunction
« on: February 28, 2016, 02:58:20 AM »
The 'Crop Circles' have appeared because you have the incorrect IJ Mode set.
In Config / General Config change the IJ Mode then regen. toolpath.
This problem occurs because Mach3 caters for two different methods of defining arcs (Absolute and Incremental) as different CAD/CAM packages may use either of these different methods. Ideally your CAD/CAM generated Gcode should include the G90.1 /G91.1 (as appropriate) but alas it does not always happen. LazyCam was abandoned many years back and nowadays there are much better packages available - some are free but like all things 'you get what you pay for'.
Hope this helps.
