I import a *.dxf file into Lcam, it does its thing and I save it *.Lcam
When I try and load it into Mach3 all it does is flash a "load" sign.

General Mach Discussion / Re: AH-HA into Mach 3

No I dont think the interface card will work with MACH3
I also brought a new(er) computer so decided to use the USB port
thats why I am using the SmootheStepper board as it will take the USB
connection.

General Mach Discussion / AH-HA into Mach 3

« on: October 07, 2008, 01:16:58 AM »

I am on the verge of firing up a MACH3 into a AH-HA box via a SmoothStepper.
The main problem is making the cable from the SS 20p connector to the AH-HA
DB36 pin connector.
Will keep you informed.
Brian.
