wow - pretty quick feedback, Thanks a lot! Yes, changing the postprocessor did the trick, but I'm wondering why the software is changing the postprocessor.

Hi,

when I'm trying to generate gcode from my job file (from which I succesfully already generated several gcode files) I always recieve "You need to define a diameter" - even with NO operations!!

Can somebody tell me where I should define which diameter - thanks!

When I load my svg file into sheetcam, I receive the error "some paths were not generated correctly, there could be aproblem with the drawing" and if I try to load the generated ngc file into Linux CNC, I receive the error "radius to end of arc differs from radius to start". Can ...

Hi, I created a svg file with inkscape. The origin is in the lower left corner (like I want it). If I import this drawing into Sheetcam with the "Drawing Position" at "Drawing Origin" I would expect the part to be right on the lower left corner of the machine table, but it is pos...

Hi,

I am using one of these thread cutters:

I am wondering what is the maximum thread diameter I can cut without crashing my tool? Let's say I have a tap hole diameter of 2.46mm


Thanks!
Christian

...by trial and error I found out that I have to set the finish allowance (outside offset) to -2,49mm - but I don't understand why!! Can somebody please illuminate this for me...

Thanks
Christian

Hi, I have a radius cutter for rounding edges. To cut a nice rounding, it always needs the same offset and the same depth. As there is no such tool as a radius cutter, I thought that a V cutter is kind of similar and created one for my radius cutter. But how ca I achieve that the offset (which is cr...

works - Thanks a lot!

Do you have the correct extension *.dxf selected in the file open dialog ?

This did the trick - great! Thanks a lot!

I have this issue again and again. On another computer the import works without problems.

I am also missing the metric/imperial option in the scaling of the drawing import dialog - I think it is a problem of the dxf import plugin....? Am I missing any libraries....? PLEASE HELP....

Thanks
C.

I think I just found out, that the offset depends on the depth of the operation - although the tool path is not updated immediately - can somebody confirm this?

Thanks
C.

I can not specify the diameter of a v-cutter. Now I am wondering what is the distance of the offset if I use this tool on an outside/inside offset contour operation.... ...or should I use the tip diameter as the tool diameter? I am using the following tool for deburring and chamfering: http://tinyur...

you don't see a layer "aussen" or "kontur"? neither in sheetcam nor in your cad software?
