Re: RoratyPlasma - Feedrate

Sorry, I missed this question. The post takes care of cutting speed and diameter compensation.
In my experience, Mach3's path planner works better if the rotary axis is set to 1 unit per revolution rather than 360. If you change this in Mach you also need to change it in the post.

Re: add parent menu item

The simplest way to add a menu is to use: app:AddMenu("/&My menu") or: app:SetMenuPath("/") app:AddMenu("&My menu") This will create a new menu on the menu bar somewhere between Options and Help. Exactly where it appears depends on what other plugins are loaded....

Re: plasma THC define custom tool parameter for THC set volts

As long as you have SheetCam TNG then yes, your license will work with the latest version.

Re: plasma THC define custom tool parameter for THC set volts

I just tried your post here and it worked. What version of SheetCam are you using?

Re: part file names

Parts don't always include the drawing file name (e.g a copy won't) but something like this should work: function LoadFile(fileName) local parts = sc.Parts:Get() for idx=0, parts:GetCount() -1 do local part = parts:op_index(idx) if fileName == part:GetFileName() and not part:IsDuplicate() then parts...

Re: Evaluation Limit Reached

I just had a look though my records and can't find a license under your email. However if your license was supplied by a reseller they may not have put your email on the license. I think the first thing to do is to contact the supplier of the machine to clarify if they were supposed to supply a lice...

Re: plasma THC define custom tool parameter for THC set volts

DefineCustomToolParam should be outside of any functions. Code that is outside of a function will execute immediately when the post is selected in machine options, or when an edited post is saved. Having said that, even if you do have that code inside a function you should not get that error. I just...

Re: Autoload plugin not working

Taking another look at the code I think you are right. However it has always worked in the past. I'll update the plugin for future releases.

Re: Autoload plugin not working

Try disabling the plugin then look at the log again. Do you still get a warning like this:
Assert failure in function wxDir::GetFirst (C:\wx-3.0\wxWidgets\src\msw\dir.cpp:409). must wxDir::Open() first ("IsOpened()")

Does it work if you choose a directory on your C drive?

Unfortunately that would be quite hard to implement.

Re: Adding Options to Plasma Tool dialog - not enigh screen space

I'm afraid there isn't much I can do about it in the short term. I'll add scrolling to the to-do list.

Re: Adding Options to Plasma Tool dialog - not enigh screen space

1080p should be plenty. The plasma tool dialog should fit on a 720p display. Are you running a post processor that adds a lot of extra options?

Re: Rotary simulation tool position

Hold down the shift key while dragging with the mouse. That will rotate the display.

Re: Add x,y,z jog to end of operation

The simplest way to do this is to use the parking position. In SheetCam go to Options->job options->parking. Turn on 'Use X' and 'Use Y' then enter the coordinates you want to move to.

Re: turtorials?

If you go to YouTube and do a search for SheetCam tutorials you will find quite a few. The ones by Arclight Dynamics are very good.
