Hi I want to use a path rule to insert a code snippet at the start of a plasma cut and then insert another one at the end. This is what I want but don't think can happen: Code Snip1 M3 S1 . . . M5 Code Snip2 I think SheetCam can only do this with path rules: M3 S1 Code Snip1 . . . Code Snip2 M5 I ca...

Hello I have posted before about the same problem with importing curves into the Linux version of SheetCam. I believe this has to do with the SVG support and the conversion of arbitrary (Bezier) curves to a series of circular arcs. My work around is to create a job file in Windows and then reopen it...

Hello I am continuing to have problems with .svg file drawing file imports. I have down loaded and installed 6.1.57. 1. When I import a file with Application options > Drawing import > Arc fitting tolerance set to 0 the drawing is converted to only short linear segments. The PP output is only a seri...

Hello I am still having problems importing .svg files that contain arcs into SheetCAM running under linux (Debian 9/ LMDE-3/LMDE-2). This does not happen when running under Windoze (same file works fine when booted to Windoze). I am trying to use 6.1.56. Setting the Application options/Drawing impor...

Found problem. I needed to install libjpeg8 libraries and not libjepg.

Hi

I just tried to use Sheetcam on my Linux machine that I use for plasma cutting and it will not load .svg files! Inkscape works fine with .svg files on this machine. The machine runs under the LMDE-2 distro. Please find support file attached.

Hello I am getting an apparent strange order of gcode commands from my PP. It apparently has to do with the order the OnPenUp and OnNewOperation functions are evaluated. On the first operation in a file it appears to be the way I would expect it but not on subsequent ones. Please see the attached co...

Hello

Can I have multiple machines setup in Sheetcam? I have both a plasma cutter and a mill and want to have settings for each. How do I do this?

Hello

I solved the problem areas by editing drawing in Inkscape. The offending paths where operated on using the "Simplify" tool. It actually added nodes to the paths but Sheetcam was happy with the resulting file.

Hello

I have just upgraded my copy and now a SVG file generated in Inkscape does not load correctly. The SVG file loads correctly in Inkscape but there are contours location errors when loading SVG file with New Part.
