Not saving PNG file with job file save

Hello, I just downloaded and installed the latest version and it no longer saves a png file of the "nest" along with the job file. Having a printout of the png file along with the job report gives the laser operator an idea of what tool path to expect when running the program. Surely there...

Selectable leads for small features.

Hello, I use Sheetcam to program our lasers. Normally, I like to use arc leadins on profiles and larger holes. The arc lead in is less apt to create a gouge at the lead point. On the other hand, small holes and features seldom have enough room to be able to use the larger arcs that I want to use wit...

DELETE MACHINE DIALOG

Hello,
In the process of trying out, making directory changes, etc. I now have several machine file OPTIONS/MACHINE -SAVE/LOAD tab dialogs that are no longer valid. How can I delete those dialogs.
Thanks

nestfab nests coded wrong

Hello, I am new to Sheetcam and have written a post for our laser cutter. I have a seat of Nestfab for nesting parts and it outputs a large dxf of the nest it generates. I made a Nestfab nest that consisted of 24 six armed flex disks. There is a hole in the middle of each part and another on each of...

new post problems

I am working on a post for a Koike laser cutter. This machine uses a macro at the beginning of a cut profile that establishes laser settings for both piercing and cutting. This macro is different for different materials and thicknesses. There is also a macro that is used at the end of the cut profil...
