That may possibly be one of the "Bugs".

You have to remove the original profile before generating the code, or it will generate it as a toolpath.

You probably knew that,

First... you select a chain,(your profile) to offset, then you generate the toolpath.
When you are satisfied with the toolpath, you need to highlight the original chain and remove it before you generate the code or LCam will use the profile as a toolpath too.
Then you can post the code to Mach3.

Man i really owe you know, thanks a lot.
Anyway i got 2 more things to ask you please:
When i create the g-code it comes with some g0 fast movements that are useless, do you know how i can quit these g0?
In lazycam for lathe you can't work in diameter mode right?

Thanks again

Once the Gcode in in Mach, click "Edit" on the auto screen and modify the code as you like. You can put ( and ) at ends of a line of code and Mach will ignore it. When you close the window, it will prompt you to save changes. Click yes and it loads back into Mach.

LCam is RADIUS mode ONLY.

Isn't there a way to create the code with some standars line always instead of edit it everytime?

thanks

There very well may be, but I am new to this and do not know. That's why I just edit.

Hi, Saumur

LazyCam is still a Bata Program, The post's still need some work, Even higher priced Cam packages require some tuning to get the post's the way you may want them.

There are many option's with G-code, Hears a link to Mach3 Turn http://www.machsupport.com/documentation/Using3Turn.pdf

I don't understand your comment on G00 moves as use-less, These are rapid moves.

If thy are causing problems like lousing position when you use them, Your velocity setting are not set-up properly.

Read up on G-code some, You need to understand how to use it.

Thanks, Chip

Thanks for the answers.

Anyway regarding the g0, when i post the code it come with 2 g0 movement of 0.0002 mm; as you can understand it's completely useless a g0 movement of 0.0002 mm
