Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home

Wanted to update, it was the rapid clearance that was the issue. I was playing with the rapid clearance settings and lower then the cut height would not produce the M05 command. This issue is fixed. Thanks everyone for the help!

I also can't figure out why my code is much shorter than yours.
Yes its still missing the m05 command before rapid move at the end.

And no clue.

Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home

Should have been. I just did 6 other dxf files and they all put the m05 before rapid move. Maybe that one dxf is tainted some how?

Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home

Oh, I see now. Weird how certain dxf files are giving different gcodes. . . Attached are two dxf's. BOTH from the same machine, same settings. One has the m05 before rapid move at the end and the other dosnt. Should also add that the same file (bullet bill) does the same thing on all my computers, d...

Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home

Well, I'm confused. I took your job file and ran it through SheetCam with the Mach3 THC with scriber post (I had to edit the setting at the top to get the G31 probe) and my code looks totally different. For one thing, my code has a lot less lines, and my code has an M05 at the bottom where you woul...

Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home

Changed the rapid clearance to 1", and its still outputting in the gcode to move before turning the torch off. Attached is the new dxf and job file.

Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home

Evidently OnPenUp isn't triggered on the last cut before OnFinish. It should be. Just a thought - Are you running a licensed version of SheetCam? The demo version of SheetCam will limit the amount of code generated. In this case it can stop a cut half way through which would leave the torch on. Yes...
