So it seems that it is completing the image (half width) in one direction then continuing to the end of the current line then completing another half width image on the return.

Sorry, but I really have run out of suggestions on this one, perhaps Art may check this thread and know the answer but it has certainly got me baffled.

Anyone else following this thread have any suggestions ?

Crop Circles perhaps.

Under Config / General Config change the IJ Mode and click OK.

Is the total width of the created (double) work the same as the Width (X Axis) you specified in the plugin or is it wider ?
When using the plugin are you clicking on Calculate Parameters after making any changes ?

I am running out of ideas now

Removing my license file made no difference so it does not matter if you are using a licensed version or not it should still work OK.

Could you please try with a square image (attached) and see what happens ?

Stand by one, I will remove the license from my version and see just what happens with an unlicensed version.
Back soon.

Are you running the latest version of Mach ?
It is also possible (although not confirmed) that you need to be running a licensed version, not the Demo version as per the .xml you sent me.

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Issue with offset

Mike,

LC is absolutely brilliant at what it does well but it is far from being perfect.
OK, you have to pay for it but there is a lot of available CAD/CAM software out there that does a much better job with pockets and offsets.
For a while I used the free version of CamBam and once you get used to it's little quirks it makes a great job of creating the offset GCode.

Is that the same thing as a silencer ?

Two things.....

Make sure you are using the latest version. http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16446.msg111507.html#msg111507 Copy the DLL from here into your Mach3 / PlugIns folder.

Make sure the axis Scale DRO's are at +1.0000
