Hi, Edmund

You also need to use Clean & Optomize, If you haven't offset for Tool Dia. in your Cad, Then you need to do that in LazyCam also.

Hi, Terry

I checked ver's 3.042.020 to 3.042.027 and the only issue with the code above was I needed an extra M30 at the bottom of code to get code to rewind in Mach sometimes. 3.043.000 seemed just fine with one M30.

Hi, Edmund

Pic 1 shows the settings you need to put in Layers Tab, Then click the Tool button and create the tool as in the picture.

Now go back to Layers Tab and  click Set Layer & Set All Layers and Send to all Layers buttons.
 
Put the mouse in the view, Hold down Mouse Center Wheel and move the Mouse will rotate the Pic 2.

Pic 3 shows the view in Mach3, and a G code file to look at, If you not licensed in LazyCam your G code May be cut off short as Rich stated.

Hi, Dave

I would think it hasn't been implemented fully.

Hi, Edmund

The Mach3 Load is to retrieve a file from Mach3, You need to use the "Post Code" button to create a G Code file.

Hi, Edmund

Your using a fairly old ver of LazyCam, Download the latest ver. 3.00.2 above under DownLoads and give it a try, You can install it in it's own folder to test.

Hears what I'm getting with your files.
