this is my question. when i open lazy cam  my tool is alwys in the same location when i bring the same file in,up until yesyerday. is there anything that i could have done that made the tool shift over? and also the part envelope is larger on the screen than usal. if i pull the same program out of the g code files directory in mach the tool is in the right place . i have never had this problem.

« on: March 14, 2009, 10:16:22 PM »
i am haveing a problem with my home position . when i bring a drawing from autcad into lazycam the tool is always in the lower left corner of my parts so i make my fixture and drill a hole so i can always line my tool up on zero. i have been doing this for two years no problem. i went into autocad to bring in some of the drawings that i have used before in lazy cam and have made a fixture for the parts . the tool in lazy cam was not in the same place it was directly on the front of the part.i tried other drawings same thing none of my fixtures will now line up with the tool. need help please.

thanks ! i did everything you said and i could not get it out,so i lowered the speed to 50 percent and it seems to have done the trick.i just picked 50 and it worked could you tell me why it worked at 50?  i left the shuttle speed at .01 like you said at 50 percent also .does it need to be changed?

thanks alex

i have a vertcal cnc mill and i have .015 backlash in x,and 10 or .011 in y. i have looked at the old post on backlash and tried everything.so far this is what i have done. backlash ,put amounts in and hit ok and restart. that did not work so i went to configure ,shuttle accel and matched that wiith same amounts. i have been on this for about 3 hours. i have never checked backlash in this machine since i had it ,seemed to always cut at decent tolorences it is a bridgeport series one 30 years old with a new contoller.    thanks for the help in advance
