LazyCam (Beta) / Drawing into LC and then to Mach
« on: October 19, 2009, 02:49:24 PM »
I have been trying to process a coloring book drawing jpeg of Arial the mermaid
From what I have been reading in various threads is to use a cad program to DXF or DWG then to Lcam
and then to generate gcode. Lcam has import for jpg or bmp but when I try to load it asks to v drill
or raster or image trace/raster. choosing the last option seems the only one that even looks like the drawing.
Now when I generate the gcode to Mach looks like a straight line.
Is there a way of bringing in the jpg to Lcam and adjusting it and then creating gcode for Mach
I have been reading everything I can and might be missing something.
Andy help is appreciated.
