Due to hardware problems, a customer had to re-install all his software to a new computer.  Everything is up and running, but with one small problem.  When he posts a file out of Lazycam and returns to the Mach screen, the new Lazycam job is not on his Mach screen.  All the option settings in Lazycam seem to be set correctly.

When he uses LazyCam, does he use the Mach screen ie; FILE>LazyCam....
I assume that he installed LazyCam when installing Mach.
I had the same problem, a long time ago, darn if i  can recall what was wrong. I think i just did a reinstall
of both and all was fine. Sorry i can't be of more help.

BTW, what version of Mach and LazyCam?

I've seen this before as well but can't remember the solution.  Using the latest versions, downloaded on Friday. AFAIK, he installed both at the same time, then copied over his screen sets, etc.   His older version (on dead computer) worked as expected.

More news from the customer.  When he tries to load a job from Mach, nothing happens; job is not loading.  He is not real computer literate but AFAIK, he has installed Mach properly and copied over his old setup files and macros.

MOTU,
I assume your aware that there is a manual for LazyCam in the Members Docs.
See section 4.0, 6.0 to 6.2.3

I am not sure what you mean by load a job.... do you mean something done in LC and posted to Mach?
Or do you mean.... He is trying to load a Gcode file he created or was created by another program?

I have included a number of dxf files that are used in the tutorials.
TheY are in the thread and here is the link:

By "load a job" I mean load and run a previously posted job.
Job is created from a software pkg. such as Lazycam.
Job is then loaded from within Mach.
Customer is unable to load any previously posted jobs.

Can you post one of those jobs and i will give a try here?

I also assume that they ran in prior versions of Mach ( before 036 ).

RICH

I'll try to get a file.
Yep, everything was gravy till he broke his computer and had to replace it.
Old and new computer are both XP machines.

Thanks for your help!

Question!  I have entered all the info (appears correctly done) in tutorial #1 of the manual up until the first "Save", which I did. Manual then instructs to post the code and test it. I tried but the code does not post to MACH3. (I have disabled the Parallel Port Driver to test code in "simulate mode"). Is this because I am currently using the "Free" version and am limited by lines of code, or do I need to look for another error on my part?

Appreciate anyones assist!
