Mach3 under Vista / Re: Mach 3 cuts all my DXF drawings 4 times

Ideally your .dxf should have been created with just one line (in the centre of the bitmap lines that were traced) but you have traced either side of the original lines.

The only solution with your existing .dxf is to delete the lines you do not want before creating the Gcode with LazyCam.

Check your .dxf - chances are that you have double lines for each contour and LazyCam is just following the lines it has been given.

Hi Bill,

That error message refers to the IJ Mode being incorrect for the arc that is being produced - try changing the IJ Mode or better still add the G90.1 / G91.1 (as appropriate) to your Gcode file.

It's common practice to have Z zero as the top surface of the workpiece - at least that's what I do but somehow your Gcode file has been compiled differently.

If you are starting out from scratch with this machine conversion then you should be looking at Mach4.

Hi Bill,

Nothing really wrong with your Gcode except that Z zero is the top surface of your spoil board rather than the top surface of the workpiece.

Hi Bill,

If you zip and post your Gcode file we could perhaps see where the problem lies.

Hi Xammy,

The only limitation of the Mach3 demo version that would concern you is that it is limited to only running the first 500 lines of Gcode - axis movements, etc. are fully operational.

Please have a read of the Mach3 Manual as this answers many of the questions you have. https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Mach3Mill_Install_Config.pdf
