ChandlerW,
Do either of those software packages provide for generation of gcode for Mach?
I don't use them. If so there would be no need for a DXf inport
I am wondering just how old of a Mach version the EZrouter uses.
Not sure, but real early versions of mach provided for import of DXF's ....before my time...
so don't qoute me on this.

There are folks in here that use SheetCam maybe they can chime in. It may be quicker to learn than BobCAD...am only quessing!

Sorry I can't help you out. Appreciate you trying to help the guy and i hate to see money go down the drain. I can't say what the limitations / bugs or whatever there are in LazyCam since i have no experience in the specifics of Plasma.

You may want to do a search "plasma" as i know there are postings in here ( never paid much attention to them).

Anybody out there using a plasma machine?.....please chime in with your expertise.

RICH

I've had a little success with the project. I loaded a .dxf file in LazyCam on the guys computer. I cleaned, optimized and wrote a tap file. I was able to load the tap file in Mach3 and cut some stuff. Success is still a ways off but at least were cutting parts out.
Thanks for the help.
