Hi, olf20

LazyCam is usually installed in the same folder as Mach3, So Yes, Or you may need to install it in E:\Mach3.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Brian

With  Zigzag it dose the same, Thy also don't finish the Offset's or Pocket's.

In offsets & Pocket's, It looks like LC is Using the portion of Dxf that generates the Spline Profile shape, Not the Spline, As LC did in earlier normal file in-port's.

Look up a few Post's above,

How about posting this Working/Screen Shot, Show Me The Error's I've Made, Many hours spent for such a blow off answer, Just trying to post bug's I Find.

May Be Me, Been there Before, May Be You, Seen That Too. ;D :o ??? ::) and I now it's a Bata-Bata Version

Thanks, Chip

Hi, olf20

In LazyCam goto Setup, Posting Options dose this match your Mach3\Gcode location ?

In some installs of Mach it will install in C:\Mach3R163... if you don't reset it to C:\Mach3\ and then install LazyCcam 2.02 it installs in C:Mach3\.

Maybe that's what is going on, Let us now.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Art & Brian

Having problems with Pocket & Offset's.

It looks like LC is using the portion of Dxf that generates the Spline Profile shape, as LC did in earlier normal file in-port.

Attached below is DXF for box around air-foil, Trying to cut box area and leave Air-Foil.

Needing Some Help Hear.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Brian

Deleted my Xml and try-ed it again, It's much better except the nose.

Shown with .01 offset's.

In offsets, It looks like LC is using the portion of Dxf that generates the Spline Profile shape, as LC did in earlier normal file in-port.

Thanks, Chip

The DXF for this is on page 1 & below.

Hi, Wes

I deleted my LC.xml and wound up with a offset like yours still has a problem on top line.

Thanks for the update on your versions, Helped me figure out the xml was the major problem.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Wes

I'm using LC version as of todays date, That's the only way i've figured out how to now what Ver.it is, When did you up-date LC last ?

The bottom profile looks good, But top is off in your post, Better than Mine.

I drew the A-foil in Turbo-cad 8, Hand drawn with spline feature, It doesn't relate to any foil data sheet.

Hear's a picture of it in Mach3, ready to cut 20 blade's.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Brian

Give this Dxf a run, It posts just fine, But it won't offset ether Out or Inside in LazyCam.

In offsets, It looks like LC is using the portion of Dxf that generates the Profile shape, as LC did earlier in normal file in-port.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Wnevels

It's your tool spec's/cutter that limits the cut path, You'll need a tool change to get in there.

It would require a different tool and a different layer to cut it, left or right with a appropriate back angle setting than what your using now.

Post your DXF file, You can cut it out as it is then create a second file to do the curve cut with a different tool.

Don't think LC lathe is to that point rite now.

Hope this Helps, Chip
