no responses to this, wow

i have a bridgeport dx32 that i am trying to figure out how i can use sheet cam to help in the part programming

when you have part in the sheet cam and you accidently rotate it in 3d, the on screen dimensions never come back even if you flatten it out, only way i have found to fix it close program and restart.

thanks for taking the time to provide some light on this. so when i open the sheetcam program (without opening a saved job) there is list of tools on the left under tools. this must the default tool set? anytime i work on a job when i close sheet cam, i get a message that says: Save default tool set...

Seems like i am always missing one of my tools, there is something weird happening with how/where the tools are stored sometimes i have the tool i need, othertimes its gone and i have to re make it if i open a saved project sometimes its there just trying to understand how this part of the software ...

looking for information on the V Carve plug in How is this plug in to be used? Do you need to have v carve software to use with sheet cam ? just confused about how to use it trying to import a 3 dimension shape into sheetcam and it doesnt show up i currently use sheetcam to successfully cut 2d shape...

i believe it is in the post processor code, where do i find that feature and adjust it ? curious is there a program out there that generates a post processor code based on the options you choose and machine specs? the post processor code that came with my machine has been nothing but problems, tryin...

trying to figure out how to correct this about half the time the torch will come down to touch the work and zero using the floating head switch. sometimes it doesn't zero and the torch is too low when it begins to cut, fowling up the consumables how do i ensure that for every cut it will set the z z...

ok good to know on the spindle speed, ill try that next time

i looked at the post processor and it already had that post arc segments portion there

thanks for sharing you knowledge, much appreciated

i did end up trying this and when i ran it, it came up with an error about belt speed too high and it wouldn't run. so i have yet to successfully run a peck drilling operation. although i did get the tab feature to work later. I am so lost when it comes to how did the manufacture design their produc...

oh i see, thats it, brilliant! thank you fine sir

its amazing how the drawing looks so perfect, and then you keep zooming in and zoom in for ever and then finally find two lines

open paths were not offset See attached picture i am trying to plasma cut out a circle that has some slots around it. i want to outside offset the circle, when it comes around to the slots it jumps over to the other side and cutting the wrong side. I even tried to the check, off set open paths check...

simple enough, ill give it a try, not sure why the manufacture suggests it as it causes problems, just tried another cut with it this morning and the tabs feature didnt work either, will try the mach 3 post next time, thanks for your input!

oh good point, the manufacture suggested that i use the mach 3 plasma post processor as seen here at 0:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2MPUiBAilM&list=PLad5_stNKz8yWOFKDsvuIElKj42ZA5U6L&index=8 is there a way to make that post processor work or do i need to use a different post processor...

I have a premier plasma 2x2 cnc table setup for plasma and routing. I have the router setup cutting wood. I setup a drilling operation, it asks for peck depth and peck retract, doesn't seem to matter what I set them too, its as if they are completly ignored. (i tried 3 different times with 3 differe...
