Is there any way to get the "minimize thermal distortion" option (from the cut path tab in the jet cutting window) to work on duplicates/an array of a part? It only seems to work to optimize lines within a single part/DXF, and the options>job options>nesting selection seems to be what's us...

The comments posted by OnNewOperation() and OnNewPart() don't seem to trigger it. Here's the OnComment() function I'm trying to use to debug the issue, maybe I've done something stupid and just can't see it. function OnComment() post.Text("(",commentText,")\n") post.Text("(H...

I tried it both with and without "show rule names in g-code" enabled. Are the rule names supposed to trigger the OnComment? I can't seem to make this trigger the OnComment() function. I think I got it to trigger once, but I'd changed a couple of things when I triggered it, and in the proce...

I'm having a hard time triggering the OnComment() event in the post processor. I had a look at the documentation but it wasn't very detailed for this specific function. What exactly does it consider a comment? I sort of assumed it was the cutting rules, or the snippets that can be attached to them. ...

What I mean by this is basically what "on leadin" does, but the problem I'm having is that this type of rules is ignored if a particular cut is made without a leadin. On start doesn't quite work because if I want to have the height controller for the plasma cutter activate say 5mm after st...

Thanks, that fixes it!

I've got a bit of a problem, and I'd wondering if there's any way around it. I have a path rule on small shapes set feedrate to 40% and turn off height controller, I also have an on start rule with end code (after 15mm) to turn the height controller on. Right now the on start rule overrides the on s...

Just having some more issues with this. Your fixed solved it initially but now something else as cropped up, it dives to the pierce height again without probing, but only at the very start of a job. Something has changed overall with the start of the gcode, it used to go up to a safe Z height, move ...

There is a window/toolbar with a list of variables, but it's blank for me unless I add some. I was wondering mostly about the ones used by the post like safeZ(?), pierceHeight etc. I've found some of them by just scrolling through post processors and experimenting with what each of them does, but a ...

Thanks!
Can I ask what scale does? Also is there any place I can find all of the variable names usable in the post processor, such as pierceHeight etc?

Just thought I'd share a hacky work around I came up with. I added to the post processor when the torch turns off, G1 Z30 and G92 Z0, so when it dives to what it thinks is the pierce height before probing, it is still at a safe height.

Hi all, I've just done a little tweak to the setup at work while trying to fix something which has revealed an unrelated issue. The problem right now is that the "Plunge Safety Clearance" value being set isn't being used, instead it's using the pierce height in the same way (I think) it sh...

Sorry for the rambling in the first post, I was a bit frustrated yesterday when I posted that leaving work, I'd spent ~4 hours trying to debug what was going on. The updates were I think 7.0.6 and 7.0.8 I think, if that's relevant. The first file is what I was using for the past month or so without ...

Hi all, Purchased and been using sheetcam for a month or so now, and its been doing everything we need at work and then some, but today there were two updates. The second of which has caused some issues. We have a self built cnc plasma that has been working perfectly with sheetcam up until now. Firs...
