"Z" Plunges Opposite Dir.
« on: June 28, 2008, 09:56:40 PM »
Hello,
Been a while since I was LCamming and I have a prob.
I've done all I can remember to get the following to run in Mach but the Z plunges up instead of down.
Stumped,
RC

I can not open your file but....

1 if you have not changed your machine then you have the incorrect goto... another words should be Z-0.250 (maybe is Z0.250)
2 you have changed your mach config...

check these first...
Hey THANKS 4 all the help in advance. I'll need more than you'll ever expect!!!

The Z jogs and runs normally otherwise...z+ goes up, z- down.

What else could be changed ?

Thanks,
RC

Never used lcam... but how do the fixture offsets work?
Can you set a bottom somewhere else?
Could it be in the post somewhere?
How about reverse posting? Can your program do that? Its like mirror...
How about Scaleing in Lcam? Can it do that?

Mine can do this stuff and if you get a little something outa whack its hard to find...

I opend it with both NCPlot and Rhino, it was at Z0 so thats ok...
