When putting in a file how and in which program Mach 3 or Lazy cam are we able to step and repeat the picture to get multiple of the item from one sheet.

 I will have lots of basic and I'm sure silly questions that I am having trouble finding the answers to. We have had our plasma cutter and the programs for a few years and unfortunately got taken by "training/trainer" we were promised and paid for. So we are finally in a place we can try and make the most of our purchase and passion. Thanks for all help and Patience. 

Mach3 and Mach4 run gcode produced by LazyCAM and other CAM systems.

Looking to see how you take one picture and make it into multiple

This is usually done in the CAD/CAM software prior to creating the Gcode for use with Mach3/4.
LazyCam is very old and outdated by modern CAD/CAM software standards - Vectric, for example, is reasonably priced and allows Copy & Paste as well as Nesting to create multiple images arranged to take the best advantage of material space.

Does Vectric produce gcode like lazy cam?

Yes, when you select adequate post processor.
