 :) Well newbie with LC and have a question seeing as I can't find any documentation yet.

When I want to post G code, and I want to set the post processor (I'm using mp1000) I can't find a post processor. I know that Mach 3 is set for the right post but how about LC. It says can't find the PP and then uses default.

The problem is (with no machine hooked up) LC send to g code, funs sooo slow yet if i do the same dfx with sheetcam, the process just goes so fast. Is this just because it is in simulation mode or an i lost? This is licensed pro version.

Thanks

There is not a post for that at this time :(

Could you please tell me more about what you think is slow?

Brian, thanks for your reply.

As far as what is slow, i think mach 3 just runs the 2 different tap files at differenr speeds, this is in simulation mode.

I created one file in sheetcam, the other in Lazycam. The sheetcam tap file runs very quickly on simulation mode. I think this is just from the post processor in sheetcam vs the default post processor in Lazycam. Of coarse, I could be wrong. Remember, that I am new to these programs and without knowing the proper procedures it is hard to know what is really happening. I will wait for the videos and documentation to come out.

Thanks for your time.

What is the F (Feedrate) in each file?
I think that is the problem :)

Go to Yahoo mach1mach2 files section, GG Test. Files are there.

Thanks
