You should be able to rotate the drawing if the check the rotate drawing button

MR Brian

you got me fair and square,i did not notice the new options in the rotate box,pretty goog stuff.you would think
that after trying many selections that i would see it.it would have taken me two weeks to notice it.

thanks bill

No trouble I was thinking that it was not working ... so it is good news all the way around 

ya know what drives me nuts doing a metric project in lcam using inch tools

Gen Notes:

USing V.076 I cannot access the different layers by clicking on them from the screen they highlight but do not change. I can change the layers from the properties bar ok

Multipass, do we really need to return to and from safe z on each pass?

Leadin? What is the proper size for a lead in? Is it a ratio of the tool diameter? Can we have the default based on a ratio of the tool diam?

Tool table, can we have a reference popup window that accesses Mach's tool table for a reference(this is LAZYCAM correct I get too lazy to go find the tool table catalog for mach(;-) )

Drill holes, If in the tool settings it calls for a step that is less than the max depth can we have a peck drill instead of a straight drill. 
           COuld we have an option to create another layer of the drill layer to use for a tapping layer, with the input to set up mach for
           tapping Gcode wise(G95,Feed per rev,Etc., or a spot drill layer , etc.

Good so far (;-) TP
         


Gcode utility, could we have a simple utility to reoder the line numbers that get mixed up from cutting a pasting and editing the Gcode file.

Art or anybody
how do you fix this heart so it will import into lcam.

Thanks

Wes

Hi Wes

Give these a try loaded into TurboCad 8, Grouped All.

Last Dxf as Drawn by you. Fine after loading in TC and Saving.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi Guys, I used an example DXF for Lazycam Turn and came up with the attached toolpath in Mach 3. It doesn't seem to cut the spirals but Mach 3 Turn always displays them. Mach 3 version R2.3, Radius Mode, Reversed Arcs in Front Post unchecked,Lazycam 2.02 downloaded July 26, 2007. Diameter mode would be much appreciated. Thanks, Glen.

Hi group, is there any chance of diameter mode becoming available in LazyCam for lathe ?
Thanks, Glen.

will there be a import feature for a tap or a text file with out mach3 running in the next release of l-cam.

thanks bill
