LazyCam (Beta) / Prismatic shape along X axis

« on: February 03, 2011, 06:05:53 AM »

LazyCam's default is to generate a prismatic shape with the profile in the machine XY plane and the longitudinal direction in machine Z.  Is it possible to shift this so that the profile is in the machine YZ plane and the longitudinal direction is in machine X?
Thanks.

Got it.  Thanks Russ

Hi Chris, welcome to the group ! 
You can set the text start at 0,0 in the wizard, then post the code and look at the Program limits in the ToolPath screen.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Write wizard bounding box

I'm wondering if there's a simple way to get the bounding box for any lettering produced via the Write wizard. 
More specifically the easiest way to come up with the bounding dimensions.
Thanks.
