It amazes me every day how a one man show is able to create such a robust piece of software like SheetCam. Kudos, Les.

Could something in the post be updating the value used by SheetCam? I'm not sure if this is possible, but it sounds logical. Is your post one that is included with SheetCam or have you modified it or gotten it from another source?

You need to set up the moreposts plugin.

You'd have to send me your post & mach screen set and I can take a look at adding this for you.

Happy to help

I modified my post to take advantage of the block delete function of mach3. I added a test run button that removes the torch fire & THC lines and raises the Z up an additional 0.25". It works pretty slick.

Try this. I also converted some of your options to checkboxes.

The dialogue should just show up when you click the added button on the window where you select the post processor. I will have to look at my post and see how it's set up. I think the values are stored in the SheetCam settings file.

An easier way to set custom variables is by using the options window. You can set defaults and then the user can modify them from the window.

Pick load default toolset off of the file menu. Then save the toolset to a thumb drive. On your new PC, load the toolset, then save the default toolset.

Yes. Check the order of your start points. Each direction is probably a different path, so when it completes one direction, it goes to the next start point. You need to order the opposite angle as the next start point in the cut sequence.

You need to set your cut sequence. If you click the start points tool and then right click on the work area there is a menu option Quick Cut Sequence. It will allow you to order the start points however you want. Press Esc to dismiss the box when you're finished.

I bet it's trying to do math with that figure. /90 probably does the same thing.

I would think the current version should work fine. You would need the correct post processor to produce gcode to run your machine, but the post processors are customizable, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Does the /pp switch still work?
I agree that profiles is probably best for his application since he's using 2 different processes.
