First time poster on this forum. Apologies if this question has been addressed. I looked in the FAQ's and poked around a bit.
I'm starting my mill file in Autocad, importing to Lazycam and then opening the g-code in mach 3.
My file in Lazycam looks great. It looks exactly as I drafted it in CAD. However, when I open the g-code in Mach 3 I lose a lot of the integrity of the original drawing. For example, some arcs will become giant circles, or if I have two lines ending close to each other Mach 3 will connect them, much to my dismay. I've had to do all these work-arounds, actually changing my CAD file through trial and error to get Mach 3 to perform as I originally intended it to with my CAD drawing.
Is there a setting or tolerance I need to adjust in either Lazy cam or mach 3? Is there a thread about something similar someone can point me to? I have a pretty good feeling this is all user error, but I'd like to learn how to fix it.
Thank you.
