Further down the rabbit hole

You having said that made me wonder about the normal version, I tested and the motion is stable in normal sheetcam, I also imported my toolset and it seemed like all the additional variables (air pressure, amps etc) seems to have come in now. Am I able to use all the dcc variables now in the normal ...

I believe this adds some to the calcs and processor load but from analysing a few gcode file...

Motion Mode

What have you set your motion mode to in Mach? config --> General config --> motion mode (constant velocity helps in smoothing the arcs, constant stop will move to exact points, most have it set to constant velocity) Also in SheetCam check what you have the arc fitting tolerance set to, try bumping ...

So I have reverted back to my standard post,which includes all my thc etc features, that I have been using (for flat sheet) and edited it to include the rotaryAxis and unitsPer...

Thanks Les, I have been trying the work around and it does seem to work, just a note on that though it does seem to add random pause points in some arcs and circles when I set the import variable to 0, this is only noticeable when actually cutting and can cause some issues with the THC where the pau...

Hi All Having a strange thing happen to some cones I am importing into sheetcam development, it either losses half the cone or adds additional radii. I have included the DXF file so you can see if it does the same on your side. This is only happening to the cones and no other parts (or at least that...
