Hi, Art & Brian

LazyCam Downloaded this morning Ver 2.02

When LC opens, Layers, "Cut Rapid Hight" is 0.0000, After loading a DXF file "Cut Rapid Hight" is 60.0000, WOW Ba-beee... !!.

The 60.0000 value also appears in the Tool "Plunge Feed & Feed Rate", box's with "No Tool" selected.

It's not in the XML, It must be in the main LC code, Shouldn't it be 0 or some lesser value. ?


In Pockets "Spiral" getting the Error Below, With a 0.0625 value set in Parameter, "Tool Dir":, No Error, With a 0.1625 it work's Fine in Spiral and Zigzag ( Just Takes some time to sort-out everything } .

The Object to be pocketed is really Big X 407 Y 120 unit's "Meg-a Test Hear".

Final Error is "EndGLDraw1".

As I've stated before, It would be nice to have an indication that LC is Processing Data and a way to Cancel / Terminate the current Operation. ?

Windows is showing that LC isn't Responding, "WHEN IN FACT", It's working very hard and not Error-ing Out or Crashing.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Franco

If that's the Msg. your getting, Check your Windows Task Manager, You'll see even though it say's Not Responding LazyCam is still crunching your file.

Look under Performance Tab, CPU Usage willl be at 100 %  These files are usually pretty big and take a some time to sort out.

One other thing to check, Make sure that Mach is Stopped and Reff. to Home, It uses allot of CPU Time when it's Running.( Hear Anyway for me).

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Wes

That seemed to help allot, Thanks,

Would have thought it would have finished the g42 tool off set even with it in there.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Wes

Well it's a mixed bag, Trying to help de-bug LC, Mach3 G41/G42 don't lead in/out the same, LC will save allot of time in cut and pasting of g-code.

Hears a view of blade cut and Tap file of same with out lead-ins on in LC and g42 tool offset turned on in Mach3 multi cut Gcode.

The lead in look fine the lead out doesn't extend out as it should and cut's off the trailing edge, I've posted this before no time to look at it I guess..

I may be doing something wrong hear though

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Wes

Thanks, If you'll tighten the Offset up close you will see the errors on the off-setting the airfoil, It's not using the Spline line for off set's.

It looks like LC is Using the portion of Dxf that generates the Spline Profile shape for the offset's, As LC did in earlier normal file in-port's.

Just blowing off some Steam Hear.

Thanks, Chip
