Hi All,
I just D/L'd the zip,and now cannot get anything to load. I should say I got one to load,and then get a file is - in and cannot load,moved it around,and still cannot get it to load. Tried different dxf's and all that I have done,still cannot load. Can someone take a look at the dxf,and see what I am doing wrong AGAIN. or ?

Hi,All
Happy Holidays to All..
Art,I had a problem yesterday in loading LT. I  D/L'd The Dec.1 Zip (only), not the one before,stating that there was an error in  Dec23. I got all the way to do the toopath,and clicked on the settings for the tool,and everything went away, My screen went back to desktop,and no Mach or LT. Tried to open Mach,mill or turn, and even Mach Loader,and nothing happened. LT deleted all of Mach somewhere, and had to reinstall from D/L mach in my saved files section. That is strange, upon reloading,and going through the setup screens again Everything is Fine as if nothing had happened. All XLM's are saved ,and back in order. Something in LT that made this go to delete ALL Mach ,on my PC. I don't know if this is what is going on with the others,but am up and running again as if nothing had happened. Can't get LT to do it Again,and No TO DO's. or errors,just memory leak. No biggie,as brfore.  HTH guy's.

Art,Chip,& Rich,
Ok,I Think, I finally got it,WHEW! TODO's Gone. What seems to be the problem,in STDCAD,My drawing software, if you draw a part,and go to a different shape,such as line to circle,to arc,they won't SNAP, together,unless you command to do so. I've been fighting this,and not sure why is was not doing it Right on other DWG's. Evidently, there is a space(as mentioned) in between the intersecting lines,TOO SMALL to see,but are there without the SnapTo. A-HAH, Now I think I've got it.  One other problem, is Depth per pass won't stay set,in LCTurn, keeps going to 0.040 when changed to 0.100, 0.040 makes a solid block in the toolpath, have to zoom way out to see,and takes awhile to load. Is this my-fault or just playing around to get some other setting's to work. Tools definition's are good and stay as set. now on to how to get LCTurn dwg,,in LC to create gcode, to cut the part, in pass's created. I Think I'm On A Roll!...Maybe Not Yet.   Thanks Guy's...  Hank S.

Hi,
Rich, Chip, I'm not ignoring you guy's. I'm tring to retrace my steps to get a dxf to post,into LCTurn. I took your advice,and am having TODO's reporting everytime I put the file in LCTurn. Still working on WHY! I did'nt have this trouble yesterdayAM,and something is Happening Now. I'll be back Later....   Thanks,   Hank S.

PS> got the tool to save,and the style etc.

Hi,
I too,have been involved with the LC not responding and have to end the task manager,ctrl-alt- delete. I'm looking for why is that some dxf's work and others do not. Could be my cad, or some bug that I am having and you are not. Still tring to get a dxf to load into LCTurn,and produce a tool path; but the tool set up keeps changing ,and there is not that much difference in the size of the parts drawn, sizes are about the same and can use ,I think the same tool cutter,and tip radius. I'm still looking for what I can do to make all the same, and maybe find my faults as something keeps getting changed. LC will only do the outline cutter toolpath,and post code, have'nt gotten that far as to have LCTurn put out something,That I can see, will work for the generation of the toolpaths that should be created. I 've gotten the CAD to work,and finally got the right way to post a DWG.and have it display in LCTurn,but as I said,other problems with the changes in the tool setup, that I can't see. Got to be ME. Why also does LCTurn crap out,and then when I reload the same file, it takes quite awhile to show the part. Uses alot of RAM... shows the part in B&W and says Y is in - and cannot produce, then after clicking OK, shows another error,and then have to ctrl-alt-delete,and close LCTurn. Nuff Said... But It'L Work ...Thanks,   Hank S.

Hi, and Thanks,
Your not going to believe this ,but this is one that I have not tried to do,The DRW as you have it. I said it could be ME. Although this is great,and addind a line ,I see what you mean, is the line on the bottom have to be drawn also,or did LC. do this auto-. I set the parm's to close the gaps,as said, and have done a TP. but nothing as good as this. I got my ears up to work,and have to finish,and will try some more this PM when I get time. Thanks for your help in setting me straight,for there will be more questions as time goes by, I'm more then sure! Gee; That's Great!   Thanks,   Hank S.

HI,
I got a question? I use StdCad.and have drawn the profile in, Everway But Sunday, that I can, and only Lazycam can read it. When I try to load it in LazyTurn,I get a No visible data can be found. (Something of Sorts). I also did the sample of the almer44 profile,and it will generate a tool path,but how in the World do I get it to save so I can load it into LazyCam to do the roughing tool path. I've read your post's over and over again,and still cannot come up with what your doing, OR , how to get the tool Path into a generated state. It must be ME, and or the Std Cad. that is holding the image out of some sorts. Could you be a little more specific in the Easy,1..2..3.ect. Doc's are not that helpfull, and have read them also.   Thanks,  Hank S.
