Greetings,
I have spent alot of my spare time over the Christmas holidays watching the videos and learning as much as I can about Lazycam. I worked through the DXF import problem (Autocad to Lcam wouldn't work) and I have edited my DXFs to where I was ready to load g-code into Mach3 mill. When I hit the "post G-code button" I get the box that asks about my preferences. I have tried checking and unchecking things but either way, I don't get G-code. No new files are created, and nothing goes into Mach3. I downloaded V3.0 hoping it would work but no deal. The text at the bottom of the screen says that the file was created (not in those words) but nothing is found.
Do I need to have or specify some kind of post processor? I finally gave up on Lcam and wrote the gcode in notepad in about 20 minutes, downloaded it onto Mach3 and made parts. -Mike
