I've tried that before as well and it doesn't seem to work on all systems

I have found that I can not pocket either of your angled chains though so you're not completely crazy.

Maybe someone else can chime in here?

I have to be honest, I do not use Lcam anymore, just too flaky and couldn't deal with it .....

Sage,

sometimesyou have to move the arrow that is on the chain, around to a different spot.

Why this works, I have no idea but it does. Also, zooming in on each pocket helps as well.

I have red brown and blue showing for the X and green and yellow showing for the Z.

When you flip the view, they're the same colors.

EDIT: you see my rulers on both sides as well.

miniature world of turning you will actually use a point tool and that tool will not look like any conventional tool.
Maybe a better way of saying it "you got the  gcode......the tool is up to you".

I think that this is a great point and should at least be considered.

If Art can do it without losing his mind (!), then great, but if it's going to kill things, I don't see it as a deal breaker either.

Thanks again for all you do, fellas.

Possibly you could ask in the VB area of the forum?

Maybe you could even download the information to make this plug-in yourself from the Mach 3 Downloads page?

Good luck-

Actually from what I have found, Jim, you're not doing anything wrong at all, it's a weird occurance in Screen 4.

I have had things like this happen and sometimes they don't and I always use the same screen size so it's not a pixel issue.

Possibly someone else will have some info for you.

I just grin and bear it as it's a free program and works fairly well and is a godsend at times-
