Re: code not showing
yes i am seeing the green tool paths. i will use mach 3 , would the version of programs be a problem and the windows is windows xp 2004 XP is fine. It sounds like a license issue to me. Even if you have the wrong post processor you should see more code that you are getting. Your Mach license looks ...

Re: code not showing
OK, based on the information I have from you, all I can suggest is using the following post processor: Mach3 plasma no Z Your table appears to have two X axis motors, one Y axis motor, and you simple mount the torch on the Y axis plate, i.e. no up/down control. I generated gcode in Sheetcam using t...

Re: code not showing
Ah, not sure if a Windows Sheetcam install can open a Sheetcam job file created on a Mac. I wanted the Sheetcam job file so I could see what you had done (tool setup, completed operation, etc). If you had done everything correctly there then it should just be a matter of choosing a suitable post pr...

If so, send a Sheetcam job file here, showing the tool selected, completed operation, etc. I.E. a job file ready to generate the gcode (= run the post processo...

Re: code not showing

As for the post processor I assume you are using Mach3. In that case use the 'Mach3 plasma' post to get things working. This is...
