find it's lacking lots of major info imho
What major info is lacking in the manual? Can you post a list?
You can be as detailed as you want and i would appreciate the effort.
and what do you mean by "don't hack your way thru it"?
When i say don't hack you way thru it, I am saying that the user should read, understand the manual and follow through
with the tutorials. The manual basically goes thru every command, tool, input etc and defines it in some manner. The tutorial's
supplement the manual by example on how to use what is in the manual. Each tutorial just builds on the one before it.
There is no formal documentation for the program on how it actualy works or or where the development left off. So the manual addresss every comment ever made in this forum, includes recomendations from other manuals written in other languages, and includes "countless hours of my hacking" to see what worked or didn't work along with ways to use it successfuly. I even put a known problems / bug list together for it.
So in that light.....a user should not hack their way thru it!
How can you explain the inconsistent DXF import I'm experiencing with LC?
There could be a number of reasons ( even bugs, maybe), and the best generic answer i can give is the write up i did on DXF imports,
Appendix "C" - DXF FILE EXPORTS in the LazyTurn Manual, as it applies.
