Re: Shape library for 6.1.57 version?
something else you might try, is install wine and then install the windows 7.x version of sheetcam. it work quite well

sheetcam/linuxcnc drill and spot op's
Couple of things. I'm using the latest linuxcnc with QTPlasma along with Phil's linuxcnc plasma post ver G This started when I attempted to use a "Center Spot" to spot a bunch of holes on a piece. What I found is that it would spot all the holes and then fail everytime at a certain gcode l...

Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
it would be nice if you could select an outline or two and create a layer which you could place those outlines on. It's rather painful having to switch back and forth from sheetcam to a dxf editor like coreldraw, Adobe AI, Aspire or lightburn. Only one of these even has a linux version. which means ...

Re: tool number
thanks. that was the issue actually. I was expecting it to change based on tool number. material number was set to 0 in all tools. Maybe a warning in the post about this would be an idea or the option to use the tool number instead of a material number. In plasmaC we seem to be using the tool instea...

Re: tool number
ok updated to .26, restarted and reran the file using the PlasmaC post which I edited to change materialsFile = true. No M190 in the file at all. Restarted sheetcam made sure PlasmaC post was chosen and redid everything. Attached is the gcode file. makerCARVER Gantry Plates v1.txt makerCARVER Gantry...

Re: tool number
Here's the unedited post file ------ Configuration options ------ -- Set this to true if you have the multi-tool option enabled in PlasmaC. -- If not set it to false multiTool = false -- Set this to true if you are using a material file. -- See http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/plasmac-user...

Re: tool number
I'm using the default linuxcnc PlasmaC post file and post.DefineCustomToolParam("PlasmaTool", "Material", "material", sc.unit0DECPLACE, 0,0,1e17) is placed just after the start of the post processor file. linuxcnc plasma post doesn't even have a OnToolChange() function....

Re: tool number
I've narrowed it down to the post.DefineCustomToolParam("PlasmaTool", "Material", "material", sc.unit0DECPLACE, 0,0,1e17) This doesn't appear to work at all. If I initalize material to 27 instead of 0 it will load the material as it should. the aforementioned line does ...

tool number
Seems you can't search for "tool number" so I need to ask. I'm using linuxcnc with plasmac. I can create a materials file from the tool table of sheetcam. It's a good materials file for sheetcam. Now how do I get sheetcam to output that into a M190 P# in the gcode? I edited the post proces...

Re: Move Notes to "Basic" tab contour screen
Vectric products have a feature with notes that if it starts with a "." aka period, a popup appears as soon as you load the file with the notes in it. without the . , then it's just regular note that you have to go look at.
