I have been truing to figure out how to import a DXF file into Mach3 for turn, without much luck So I decided to use one of the lazyCAD samples, outer profile and low and behold it does the same thing! crop circles. I assume that the outer profile is a valid example for turn? using the File-Import-DXF from the menu in Mach3. I have tried absolute and incremental modes and they show no difference in the display.
Am I doing something wrong? is there a tutorial or FAQ that explains the requirements for creating a profile in DXF format? I have written a custom VB program that directly outputs G-code and it works fine, now that I have somewhat learned G-code basics. I would sure like to use a CAD program for creating profiles.
