Lazy cam to Mach3 G code file not loading properly
« on: September 01, 2012, 01:11:49 PM »
Hi, I am trying to create G code from lazy cam. Here is the screenshot in Lazycam:


But When I post the code to a file named something.tap and load that in the Mach3 I get the following output. That is only the R from the previous whole word in the Lazy cam. I have tried with various text but similar result. Although simple line drawing seems to work fine.   ???



Thanks for your help.

Without a Mach3 license, LazyCAM will only give you 25 lines of g-code, I think.

Skip the LazyCam module and use LazyTurn instead. There are a number of issues with the lathe module in LazyCam, Tool definition in particular.
