    Looking for Help with Mach3 and LazyCAM

    Usining ver 2.42 of Mach3 on Vista Ultimate.

    I imported a gif file and traced it with TurboCAD. Converted it to a polyline, stripped all of the other layers and saved it as a .dxf. I can open it in LazyCAM, run a quick clean and set everyting up; export to gcode.

    Heres the problem...... When I open the file of gcode, only part of the project shows up. Sometimes more parts than others (same file.)

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Do you have a registered version of mach3, or the demo? The demo will only show 500 lines in the toolpath display.
