I don't know to put this in the Mach3 or LazyCam section.

I'm having a problem. I'm using CAMBAM to make my design and transfer the .DXF files to LazyCam. When I get the DXF to lazycam, I can't seem to figure out how to make that a .Tap file for the Mach3 to read the file. I also can't get the Gcodes to get right.

I've watched all the Videos on Machsupport.com but I can't figure it out.

I know i'm a newbie, but all I want is a simple 4" circle to run on my machine! I'm trying to get the gearing right. :(

why aren't you using cambam to produce your toolpaths , you'd get far better results than using lazycam

I'm getting pretty aggrivated at the whole thing. CamBam isn't working right, so I tried to use LazyCam and idk, im just ready to take a sledge hammer to the machine.....

I can understand your frustration , I'm sure you can get the help you need if you post in the cambam forum , those guys are pretty helpful , lazycam is pretty tragic and isn't much good for anything
