Are the operations set up correctly for each part? Parts are independent of each other and the operations on one part do not affect other parts.

I think I know what the problem is. If your drill operation doesn't find any holes you will get that warning. However if you correct the problem the warning won't go away until you reload the job.

There are a couple of possibilities here. First of all, is the tap file already open in Mach? If so, close the file before running the post processor. This is the most common reason for this error.

Could everyone having problems please post their graphics adapter make, model and if possible the driver version. I can't replicate this fault here so I have no idea what is going on. I'll try to find a computer with a similar card so I can replicate the fault. I am also about to upload a new versio...

A few people have requested this. I have been putting it off because it is quite difficult to implement and I am worried it may break other parts of the path generation code.

It sounds like you are actually trying to import a 3D drawing. SheetCam does not really support 3D drawings. In Sketchup can you export just a face rather than the whole shape?

That is right. Only 4.0.16 Stable has the update. I will release a new 4.1.17 Development once I get the latest round of additions debugged and working.

You can't pocket with a laser tool but try this: Set up a mill tool with equivalent diameter and cut height. Now do a zigzag pocket with this tool. The results won't be perfect as you will probably end up with a deep line around the edge of the engraving but it may work well enough for you. Just a t...
