What post processor are you using? If you aren't sure you can find it in Options->machine->post processor. If you are using a milling/routing post you won't get the correct M3/M5 codes

Hi Cody I’m having the same problem I’m new to this and I’m using an arduino grbl shield. Some post processors move the plasma torch correct but I can’t seem to find one that fires the torch did you find an answer or a post processor for grbl ? Also are you using Mach or something else I’m using laserweb and I did have it working before I perched sheetcam but now it’s not [/quote]
