Do the movement coordinates need to be offset or do you just need to select an offset using a G or M-code?

You need to fix the breaks or overlaps in CAD.

Open paths are shapes that don't join up. In other words you have a break in our outline or the lines are overlapping. Turn on View-> show path ends and turn off View->show segment ends. You should see some white dots on your outline. If you zoom into the dots you will probably see the problem.

I found the problem. Thanks. It is a rather obscure one and only shows up if you have a leadin but no leadout. It is fixed for the next release.

I tried auto tabbing here and it worked correctly. Could you send me the job file with everything set up just before you try auto placing tabs. I'll try running your job and see if I can get it to crash.

To place tabs manually switch to tab mode (Mode->edit tabs). Now you should be able to place tabs by simply clicking on the outline. Note that if you have more than one operation you have to have the correct operation selected before you can edit it's tabs.

I just tried your job here and it worked. I have a suspicion you may have a corrupted license. Do you have a license? Go to Help->about. Does it say if SheetCam is licensed?

Could you post the job file so I can try it here.

Edit your tool and check the plunge rate. You will get that error if the plunge rate is 0.

Double click on your operation (where it says No offset, Default...) to open it.
You can set the feed rate in there.

By the way in simulation click the setup button and set the machine type to 'jet' rather than 'mill'

That all looks correct. As Art suggested, have you tried running simulation (mode->simulation)?

If the simulation runs correctly you should get correct g-code.

I just looked at the specs for TinyG and it appears that they try to conform to the LinuxCNC g-code dialect so try the EMC plasma post. That should be pretty close to what you need.

There isn't an easy way of doing that. It is possible but it gets very complicated.
