Fat fingered the original post - I re-read it. I ment to say convert all drills to a new layer not a new chain.
that would give you separate control over those items. (order, depth, feed rates etc)

LazyCam (Beta) / Cutter comp Issue

« on: July 10, 2006, 01:01:37 PM »

Attached are two files (dxf and tap).  During run progam i get an error on line N70.  It looks like the cutter is getting too close to the next edge.  error says "Tool radius no less than arc radius with comp on line numbe(message get cut off).  Have a look.

Lots of progress on the last update. Good work

Problem - in LZ anytime when i try moving the origin i get MS error that kicks me out of the program.  Did not see it in the release from version 1.90.62,  I find it this morning with the new download???

Suggestion - is it possible to create another chain when you convert  small holes to drill cycle.  this would allow different feed parameter for the setup.

Something else - when creating drill holes i have to go turn off each lead in individually.  slow if there are a lot or holes.  The inside layer control option should turn them all off.  then I could convert the holes to drill holes.  Then use option to turn remaining layer lead in back on.

What do you think.

Brian is there a way to chage the order of the chains within a single layer.

LazyCam (Beta) / New problem after G80

« on: June 28, 2006, 04:58:44 PM »

Attached is the DXF and Tap file i've been working on today.
converted holes to dirll.  Program gets lost.  Line N100 should have a G1 after the G80 cancels the canned cycle.  I've had this happen onseveral files with 2.54 whe i change to drill.

Fantastic work on the program.  Getting much better with each release.

Now silly questions
is there a zoom  or pan in LZ.
 When i select a tool does LZ take in to account the cutter radius automatically or do i have to add  G40 to G42 in my code.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Rapid Travel

Sounds llike maybe your "rapid traverse" speed is too high.  Once you load a slower speed the motors have enough torque to run normally.
just a thought.

Sorry there is a command under the File menuin LZ that says "Load current mach3 file..." 
I assumed it was to bring the Gcode file back in if you wanted/need to "Tweek it"
I acutally thought it worked that way in a previous version but i could be wrong.
Happens a lot at my age.

LazyCam (Beta) / Another suggestion

Your gonna get real tired of me i can tell.
How hard would it be to put a button onthe right hand side that rotated  the file by 90 degrees.
