Re: Importing .SVG issue
I think I figured out the issue. Sheetcam doesn't like the way the drawing objects were "grouped". Once I removed all of the grouping, the file opens properly. -Always learning something new.

Importing .SVG issue
I have recently developed an issue with my importing. I have a file with a few open paths, and a couple closed paths. They imported just fine the first time and many other times. I had to change the direction of an arrow in the drawing (in Inkscape), I re-saved the file with the reversed arrow. I tr...

Plunge Rate, Plasma
This question came up on the Masso site. Using the Masso Plasma Post, does the Plunge rate in the tool setup do anything? Or does it just default to a rapid move? Would another setting elsewhere activate it?

Re: CREATING AN OPEN PATH CUT
I Just figured out the issue. In my drawing, I cut out the lines. If the lines are just left on the top layer of the drawing, they remain open paths. If they are cut out they become closed paths.

CREATING AN OPEN PATH CUT
When I import an .svg from Inkscape, I want to have the plasma cut an open path line. When I import the drawing, Sheetcam turns the line into a closed polygon. The result is a very narrow closed polygon, not just a single line. I have tried setting up an action point to turn off the cut on half of t...

Crash when Zooming in and using Actions points
V6.0.3,Windows 7: I seem to get a consistent Crash if I zoom in very tight on a job, and try to edit the action points. Any suggestions? At this point, I can usually work around the Issue by not zooming too closely. The problem is that sometimes I want to get the Action point start or finish exactly...

Re: Z axis speed setting for THC.
Just my limited experience talking here. If I had to just change the THC speed to just one setting, I would modify the post on the line that calls the THC on: right after M667 add F and the speed. function ThcOn() if(thcstate ==0) then thcstate = 1 post.Text(" M667 F40 (---THC on---)\n"); ...

Re: Z axis speed setting for THC.
Thanks again Les. It seems to be working in the THC area. Somehow, I also managed to install a post variable for THC ON & 15%. I think it is also having some affect as well. I just have not had time to play with it to see all of the results. Looking forward to some quality time in the garage :lo...

Forgot to mention, I have a home built table, Masso controller, DMM Servos and drives, and a Alkom CAP04 capacitive THC.

Re: Variable THC feed speeds?
I’m running a Masso controller, the sheetcam post calls out the THC on/off as it’s own function. Les just recently helped me with the issue. By adding some very basic code to the THC function line, I am now able to set my ZSpeed during THCon. I am now able to base the speed on a percentage of the to...

Re: Z axis speed setting for THC.
I did not have the function onToolchange() in my post. I did have a Function ThcOn(). So I put the command there. It appears to be working. Thank you

Re: Z axis speed setting for THC.
Ok, I looked into your solution a little last night. If I understand correctly, this will give me an additional text box for each tool. I would then enter a custom Z speed for each tool in the new text box. When the tool is used, and the THC is called, it would run the Z axis at the speed posted for...
