Hi, DroopyPawn

Jog buttons are accurate, Tab key, set Jog Mode to "Step" then just above it enter distance in the window, You can activate under "Operator" a Auto Calculator by checking beside it, Then enter the number from a calk window.

You can use a Work Offset by setting it but it's a Gcode G54 to G59P253, look under Offsets Tab, Work Offset's and read up on it.

It's a Gcode world.

G00 X10 Y10 then Zero X,  Zero Y, It's basically a Work Offset

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Lawrence

LazyCam has some issues with arc's, Art has it on his list to look at.

I guess I got confused on the 1.5 X.5  dim..

Hears one in engrave mode, Pocketing misses part of the K.

Just Another, Chip

Hi, Lawrence

Hears one, proper font, proper size, made with BobCad 2007.

Feed speed's set at F1, it has 2 tool changes and spindle speed of S2000, Mach should ignore them if you have it turned off

Do a air cut, from Z0 it will cut .050 deep and rapid at .1 above Z0.

With feed  override you can increase to 3 in a min or edit them.

Hope it Helps, Chip
