The Linux release tends to lag behind the Windows releases so 7.1.35 isn't available. I need to do an update soon.

If you want to cut with a drag knife you need to first create a drag knife tool. The tool syou have defined are plasma tools, which cannot be used by the drag knife operation. The image you showed was of a milling/routing operation. Again if you are milling/routing you need to define a rotary tool. ...

You have SheetCam configured for both milling/routing and plasma cutting. It is showing 'no tools available' because you are trying to do a milling/routing operation but have no milling tools defined. You need to use a jet cutting operation for plasma. Are you just plasma cutting? If so go to Option...

Looks like someone manually added lead ins. They tend to confuse SheetCam.

Are you using the 'PremierPlasma CNC floating head' post? I had a quick look at the post and if you just want to get rid of the referencing code when marking it's pretty easy to change. Edit the post and look for function OnPenDown() which should be near the middle of the file. The first two lines o...

I can't see anything obviously wrong. The code looks correct: N0160 G31 Z -100 F400.0 probe surface N0170 G92 Z0.0000 Zero Z axis N0180 G00 Z3.6000 Move to pierce height N0190 M03 Torch on N0200 G04 P0.7 pierce delay N0210 G01 X-52.9423 Y119.7730 Z1.5000 F100.0 Move to cut height Do you have torch h...

The default tool set is always saved in the settings folder. The same goes for the default machine options.

In SheetCam go to Options->machine->post processor and click on the 'Edit post' button. Look for function OnPenUp() near the end of the file. Replace the function with this version: function OnPenUp() ihs = pierceHeight ~= 0 and cutHeight ~= 0 --enable IHS if both pierce and cut are non-zero post.Te...

This can be done with a post modification. What post are you using?

Looking at your job file you have a tool length offset defined for your tool. This is added to the overall Z height.

When you import a drawing a box pops up with a number of options. Is that set to metric? If so try setting it to inches.

Thank you. I will add the translation to the next release. Was this translation for the stable release or the development release?

I found the problem. As far as I can see, the post has always had this problem. That's why I didn't spot the issue before. I was only looking at stuff I had changed.

Do you get any warnings when you post process?
It could be a license issue. Try reinstalling your license. If that doesn't help, let me know your license ID. You can find it in Help->about.

I'm not seeing any issue in the code. If you look in the tap file you should see this code: N0150 M03 N0160 G04 P1.3 Try changing the pierce delay to 0. After post processing you should see the G04 value change to 0. Is the pierce delay still 0.5s? If so I suspect you have a spindle on delay defined...
