After you import a  DXF file click the Layers  tab at the bottom of the Info window, press the tool button and input the name, diameter, feed rate and so on.

Hi, Saumur

LazyCam works in Units, If your DXF is in MM, Then it's MM in LCam.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Saumur

Lathe uses a Profile top half of your dxf drawing.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Guys, i'm sending you the dxf i'm using.
If you can tell me how i have to configure lazycam to generate a g-code of this i would really appreciate it since i can't do it...

Thanks

I could do the g-code but i don't understand why when i put the tool it's like the program is not reading it.
In fact if i change the diameter of it the program will be the same.
Do i have to do something in Mach3 too?
Thanks

Hi, Saumur

Is it a Lathe profile your looking for ?

Your dxf diden't clean up weii, Loaded it in BobCad, traced it and saved under dif name.

Is this what its should look like.

Thanks, Chip
