I have material between cutouts that are usable for smaller cutouts.
Is there a way to setup Sheetcam or Mach to utilize the usable areas and have the torch x-y go to a pre determined spot and start the cut?

Re: Making use of usable material after plasma cutting
Are you entering sheet size into 'job options' and laying out parts on the sheet? that way you can save the sheet as a 'job file' and then zero up on x & y layout new parts in the gaps,disable original parts and cut away.
I label up sheets of various sizes with job file number ie: 6OC12 (6mm October 12th)

Yup, what SeanP said. Save job file, which should match sheet remnant. Open job file at a later date, add parts to fill cuttable area, re-save job file, index old remnant sheet, and cut again. Repeat until you've used all the old sheet.
