Hello Arnie
Funny thing i was on the phone with Chip and we tried the turn wizzard just inputing random info and it worked, now it seams it's working maybe it was the vbersion i was using.
Are you using a cad/cam type program for your design if so which one?

Thanks Chip i have downlaoded the file 2.01.000 thanks again for all your help.

Hi Mark
Thanks for the reply, well that's the funny part when i tried to post the code the program at first did come back with an error it was a clearence conflit i fixed that and then again asked it to post the code the program didn't come up with any more errors at the bottom of the screen but it never posted any code either i left the program run thinking it was working on the file for more then 15 minutes but nothing.
Have you looked at a program called Kip Ware it is a conversational software and has a program in it like Lcam called skecth pad for DXF import it dose inside and out side turning and threading just fill in the blanks.

Hi guy's
until L cam is working for the turnning application i thought i could use the wizzards to do some work i did get one of the wizzards to make a fillet for me but this morning i tried to get the boring wizzard to work the screen came up with an error i corrected it and said post code it didn't come back with any errors but it didn't post the code either, question is do all these wizzards work or just some?

Brian & Art
I was on the phone with Rihno support, Mc neal and associates asking about a post for Mach when the tech stated that they offer a free tool box for software developer's thought maybe you might be interested.

 Thanks for your reply, but several months ago before i purchase the lic for Mach and Lcam you said it would be about a month and both Mach and Lcam would be setup for the lathe, i know there are other lathe user out there needing the software if you could even give us some help with the program i sure it would be appreciated.
 I have been working with Chip and he know's the problems i have been having, one prblem i have found is that a move from the jog screen dose not correspond correctly with the actual program move or a move from the MIDI line i have had to recalibrate my machine due to this in the motor tuning.
I know you can give us all work around's but it sure would be great to have the program's work correctly.
