I've toyed around with the rotary post a bit, but haven't actually run any of the code yet. I do believe that SheetCam runs the rotary axis in linear units rather than degrees. It uses the center axis as z zero.
I think you also have to purchase the rotary plugin for any of the rotary stuff to work.

Re: plasma THC define custom tool parameter for THC set volts
Which section did you insert the define in? I believe it has to be in a certain place. Look at another post that has a custom parameter and see where it goes.

Re: Perforated sheet metal
That must be something that your controller uses. It's not a normal SheetCam setting. If you look through the gcode, it's probably being sent to the controller.

Re: Perforated sheet metal
Does the 45xp have a mode for cutting perforated sheet? My 65 has a setting on the dial that keeps the arc running even if it goes off of the metal momentarily.

Re: Error Code
There is a limit on the number of lines of gcode that the evaluation version will output. To fix this error you'll have to purchase SheetCam. If you are getting this error on a licensed copy, then it's possible that your license code is pirated. If this is the case, contact Les at SheetCam with your...

Re: Plasma peck drilling function issue
What post processor is the person who sent you the other image using? I think CandCNC is the one that has the peck pierce programmed into their post. You would probably have to add those functions to your post to get that to work.

Re: Plasma peck drilling function issue
That's probably a different post processor. Tell us more about your system.

Re: Plasma peck drilling function issue
On some plasma cutters the initial pierce is longer. After the post flow air is running, the pierce time is shorter. Try dry firing the torch before you start your code to get the air flowing and see if that works better.

Re: Adding Options to Plasma Tool dialog - not enigh screen space
Can you make the lower section of the window display in 2 columns if there are too many fields to fit? I would think that would be easier than scrolling and would make better use of the window.

Re: All pierces first?
There is a plugin that makes toolbar buttons that will let you easily run more that one post. I believe it's called moreposts. You could also add a setting to your post that would allow a switch of sorts in the operation that would toggle the pierces only. I think it would be easier to have 2 differ...

Re: All pierces first?
You will have to copy & edit your post processor to only perform the rapids & pierces and ignore the cut moves. What post are you using?

Re: Where are predefined variables set?
On a rotary axis the Z is calculated from the center of the pipe not the surface.

Re: Rotary drawing issue
Split the hole on its own layer. Then you can inside offset the hole and outside offset the other lines. You might have to play with the start points to get the offset on the correct side. Also, make sure you select offset open paths.
