OK New computer is here purchased the sheet cam license and mach2/3 license of the website ? where do i get the mach 3 license from?

Thanks for the help , my computer guy is building me a system as we speak and i will purchase new programs when I'm ready to run .

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.

So it's a cnc plasma table. Does it have a floating head for the torch. Can you succesfully import an SVG file from Inkscape into Sheetcam. 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...

Do you see any green tool paths? If you do it sounds like a license issue. If not you probably haven't created any operations or your operation(s) are on the wrong layers. 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...
