I have created a DXF file in AutoCad, and imported it into LazyCAM successfully and all components of the drawing show up in LC.

However once I generate the G code and load it into Mach 3 only portions of the picture are present.

I cannot see a correlation between the parts that show up and those that do not. The only difference I see when importing the file are that some entities show up as a green line an others as a blue line.

I am new to LC and not sure what the different colors represent.

I have made sure the original DWG file has good connections and no unterminated lines.

Any suggestion on what is happening?

I have tried this on two different files, in both cases the DWG file was created from a scanned image using Raster to vector conversion, then cleaned up in Autocad and saved as a DXF file. I have made certain all lines inthe DWG file were on the same layer, and same line type.

Thanks

I believe I have resolved my issue.....turned out I had not installed the Mach 3 license file....once that was in place the entire picture showed up

HOWEVER.....when I went to cut the item, it looked good on the Mach 3 screen, but when I cut it out....it reversed the image (a mirror image) of it.....has anyone ever heard of this??

Thanks

Yep. One axis of your machine is set up backwards.
