I am having trouble getting lazycam to open .dxf files.  I generate them in ACAD, if I make one using a closed polyline, then it says no entities.  I explode the polyline & it will open it, but when I generate the g-code, there are parts missing.  Here's one simple file that it opened, but left out parts of the rectangular outline.  Is there a setting somewhere in LazyCam I am missing?

Mike

Also, whi does LazyCam output a default Z of 60 inches?  I have to go change it in each layer, rapid height, plunge rate & feed rate are all at a default of 60, can I change this?

Hello Mike,
The File seems to have some loose ends.
Increasing the connection tolerance allows them to sort of "snap" together.

Once you set up a tool in the tool table and save it, all you need to do is select the tool. The settings are persistant from then on for each tool entry.
 
Maybe this will help,

Hi, Mike

Using LC 3.00.2 hear it loads fine hears a pic and a .LCAM file of it.

I think if you'll setup some tools and set the cut height's and close LC, It should save them as defaults.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hey Chip,
What is the Conn. Tol. set on yours ?
It would not load right on mine at .0001
Also, I just noticed mine is stuck on Rapid Height 60.
I don't remember seeing that before.
Thanks,
RC

Hi, RC

It's set to .001 hear working pretty good, On the Cut data it will post a rapid hight of 1 inch if I don't use "Set Layers/Set All Layers" Button.

Hears my LC XML, Re-name yours & re-name this one to LazyCam and see if it helps.

Thanks, Chip

Thanks Chip,
I'll set that up tomorrow....L  O  N  G  day.
Bye,
RC

Thanks RC & Chip, I'll try setting up some tools & saving it by closing. 

I can get the rapid ht, cut start & dut depth to stay for one file, but when I close it, then re-open, it's all reverted back to 0.  I even set them with no file open & tried closing then re-opening, back to 0.  Also, can you do offsets with the version that comes with a Mach3 lic. or is that only an option available in Pro?  The other thing is that I have gotten it to post g-code for a file, but it does not export it all, multiple pieces in the drawing, but only partial of one piece shows up in Mach3 when I load the g-code that LCam posted.  I'm baffled.

Thanks again for the help. Here's the other file I'm trying out with, will not post full code.

I should have asked you in the beginning.....If you had the license.
Yes, it is necessary.
