Hi, Jones

LazyCam is 2.5 D, you import 2D, add the .5 D in bottom rt corner.

Hi, Dre

If the earlier version of A-cad, save as 12 or 14 DXF docent fix it.

Windows can cause problems if the Hardware Acceleration is set to High, It's sorta deep in windows, do the following.

Goto Windows Start bottom left bottom corner of your Screen, click on it, Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced, Troubleshoot,

Hardware Acceleration, Set it to None or second dot.

Mine is set to Second dot and I unchecked the Enable write combining also, not sure about the write combining been-a-while since I look at

this.

Dont forget the Apply button then OK.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Give it a Try, Chip

Hi, VOTS

Hear it is in g-code LazyCam generated, you'll need to edit the Z & f-speed.

Hope this Helps, Chip
