General Mach Discussion / Wireless Xbox controller problem

« on: September 15, 2008, 12:30:02 PM »

I have a wireless controller and installed the plug in
also installed  Xbox360_32Eng.exe
The plugin config screen pulls up and is checked green
but in the configuration screen where is asks what kind of controller
wired
wireless
or none.
that box is unaccessible
and nothing works.
I get no error messages.
? does anyone know what I need to do to get this working?
thanks,
Brian

No time to talk right now but it doesn't look good, raster to vector.

I totally disagree.
I imported this file in Sheetcam, Autocad, corel X-4 , mastercam, and visual mill.
All had no problems.
When LCam writes the Gcode for the profile, it's perfect.
just when I free rotate with the wheel of the mouse it gets funky.
Look at the pic below

Here is the lcam file.
DXF was only single layer.

? When I click and drag the center mouse wheel it rotates in 3d, but why am I seeing 4 levels of this part
it's a single line part with a zero Z depth?

AngelT,
This is one of the main problems I've been trying to figure out.
I use Cadkey99 as my cad program and the import / export function
in that program is very strong. I also use Corel Draw X4 to do work
in. It doesn't matter what I do; whenever I export a dwg or dxf drawing
out of Corel and import it into any other program it brings it in as polylines
and or conics.

I believe the export function for Corel is really weak in this issue.
I exports for art purposes not for cam.
That's my 2 cents.

I'm going to try to turn a drawing into a bitmap from corel then use a
raster to vector program to see what it does.
I'll post my results in a few days.

VMAX,
I think most of the people using this software do not have the experience that you have
and also don't have 20k in software to use when Lcam can't do what it is supposed to do.
The whole point of this thread is not to make Lcam a world class cam program but to just
fix the existing programs faults.
For example, I downloaded sheetcam the other day. Was generating code in 30min. Problems
yes, but when I imported the dxf I did nothing special and it imported perfect, was all connected
and was much easier to choose climb cut or conventional cut.
I personally like Lcam. Its perfect for what I do but I need the pocketing and offsetting functions
to work like they should along with the other functions I mentioned before.
Man oh man if they just got the program to just work better I think it would be one of
the best programs in the industry.

Thanks
Hope your retirement is going well
