Re: Error: Evaluation limit reached Post processing failed

If you did not delete the original email, you should be able to search it and just download it to your laptop.Now if you are just practicing and not using it to program another machine, evaluation is not a problem,it just limits the amount of gcode you can produce.

Re: Sheetcam file not showing the same on the plasma

If you still have the old gearbox, I would check the Gear Ratio( 20:1, 50:1 ect) on it and compare it to the new one.If it isn't the same, you will probably have to go into your controller software and recalculate all of your steps again.

Re: Skipping cuts on the same layer?

Put S2 on a different layer and don't program it. to do that, be in contour mode and move the mouse over the contour you want and right click and pick
"Move to New Layer"and give the layer a name.

Re: Erratic plasma cuts

If you are running Mach3, look under Config/ Motor Tuning. Check and see if both your X and Y drives have the same numbers. the only other thing would
be bad bearing in one of your axis causing it to drag. Just had this problem with my Torchmate.Bad bearings in my X axis.

Splash Screen Freezes On Start Up

When trying to launch SHeetCam this morning, the splash screen froze up. And when you hover the mouse over the task bar icon, you see a small dialog box that states that "the Turning plugin has expired and you have to install the newest version to continue using it." I'm not using a Turnin...

Re: continuous operation

What I do is in Job Options/Nesting is set for minimize tool change. this allows all my marking to be done at one time, then I only have have to change my plaz back one time and finish cutting everything.

Re: DXF's not importing correctly

Now I did take the same file and was able to import into the TorchMate CADCAM software and it came in correctly.So...

DXF's not importing correctly

This is the first time I had seen this one. I've been using SheetCam for 4 plus years now, and I can not explain this one.The dxf is semi circular with faceted sides, but when I bring them into SheetCam, it removes the facets and replaces them with an arc.See below images. draftsight image.jpg Now t...

Re: post processor not converting to tap file

Under Options-Machine-Post Processor, there is an a place called "Output File Extension. There you can type a file ext you want ie. .txt,.tap, ect.
