Dear Art, the great god of turning,

Yes, Yes, Yes, I right clicked the executable and made the change you suggested, and it works to save the .tap on Vista now.  

Thanks!

  It always was my plan to port LT back to LC, to put the new dxf loader in there, and the new optimiser..etc.. LazyTurn is much more accepted Ive noticed, it loads more then LC, and it rarely gives errors, so its code would be nioce to have ported to lazycam. Its my intent to do so and then remove the turn section in LC altogether. Its bad code, ( licenced at great cost .. ), and LT seems to do better for the most part. We'll see where we are when I finally give you a finishing pass..

Hi Guy's
 I am upgrading my version of Mach to the latest .029 for my lathe and i am having trouble getting this version to save the X&Z axises the version wants to stay in mill mode with the X&Y axises copied everything from the earlier version but i must have missed something appreciate the help.

Thanks
Dennis

Dennis:

 Make sure the screenfile is named *.lset not just *.set

Thanks for the quick reply i would find this in the mach folder ?
Thanks
Dennis

under active plane i click the radial button for x&Z but it won't save it then goes back to X&Y when i changed the name to LSE the screen came up blank no graphics changed it back and all came back up.

Dennis

Dennis:

 If mach3 loads a screen file with *.lset as its name, it starts up in lathe mode, if not, then its mill mode.

 So if your lset file is bad, try reinstalling mach. Or load 1024.lset  as your screen set.

Hi Art
Thanks for the reply and help I got it going after hacking at it for a while sometimes you got to talk mean to it.

Hi Art
Well it's getting toward the end of the year and i am told it's starting to get cold up in Canada so do you think we'll see a finished pass this year of will it be next year before it's working?

Dennis

Dennis:

  Yup, getting colder.  Ive already laid Termpest to rest fer a bit so I can refocus on LTurn. Ive been investigating this week exactly how the finish pass
might work, with luck it may be by the end of the year or perhaps sooner.. depends on how those investigations go.
