Post the dxf file.
it just isn't doing what it should
Maybe what your thinking it should do, ( that's a mistake if you have not looked at the manual
) or it may be what you are telling LC
.
I think this is what is happening.
Remember that your instructing LC to create code for a machining task based on selection and cut definition. It imports a dwg and if you don't
want to machine the whole thing then you need to turn off layers and you can't do that at the entity level.
Example:
Import a rectangle which was drawn in cad and saved as a version 12 dxf.
Create an offset of the rectangle in LC.
Now you have two layers, namely the rectangle ( if you created the rectangle on it's owne layer in CAD with that name
) and also the Offset layer.
So what do you want LC to do with them
if you just post code you get code for both layers , if you unenabale / turn off one of the layers then LC will only give
you code for what is enabled and another tap wil be created and posted.
Now, say you select just the rectangle and tell LC what you want LC to do with it ie; maybe just create the code for following the outline, so you post ( LC will
use defaults which may not be appropriate for your task).
Now, say you want the offset to be machined with the same tool only a deeper cut, then you must tell LC how you want it cut by selecting the tool and definining
how deep you want to cut it. Post code and you will see that another tap version has been written which has the gcode for both machining tasks.
BTW, You can't do offsets and get posted code with the free version.
