Re: DXF vs. SVG import format ?
Historically SheetCam's SVG import was a bit buggy but these days it is pretty solid. These days the choice of file format mostly relates to the application the file was exported from. For example Inkscape has history of isses with it's dxf export so I generally recommend SVG with Inkscape. In your ...

Re: SketchUp to SheetCam impasse!
If the files look the same in QCad then the problem is almost definitely Sketchup. I'm afraid I don't use Sketchup so I can't offer any more advice on how to fix it.

Re: New member and issue
Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm afraid Wright distributed pirated licenses that no longer work. I'll reply to your email to sort that out. When you first load your drawing do you reassign your profiles to different layers? If you move everything off of layer 0 then save and relload the job, lay...

Re: Typo in angle, then crash
I can replicate the fault here. Most input boxes allow you to enter expressions. For instance if you want to define an operation that always cuts through your material plus a bit you could set the cut depth to: MaterialThickness + 0.5mm Now if you change the material thickness that operation will au...

Re: SC Dev v7.1.35 hangs occasionally upon startup, Win11
Well, that's unexpected. I'll run some tests and see if I can replicate the problem. Thanks for letting me know what you found.

Re: Residual Material cutting
It's called 'rest machining' and I have looked into it a couple of times. Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out a good, reliable way of implementing rest machining.

Re: Issues loading file to sheetcam
Could you post the problem file here or email it to me direct. Job files are roughly 50% text so if you can't read it in Notepad it must be pretty badly damaged.

Re: Can I make the job-file remember the last post-processor used?
Yes, the /pp switch should work. However the OP wants to run a plasma and a router. As these two machines use very different settings I think two profiles would be better suited in this case.

Re: Can I make the job-file remember the last post-processor used?
Sorry I'm a bit late to the party here but it looks like having two profiles would work for you.

Re: SC Dev v7.1.35 hangs occasionally upon startup, Win11
I have seen that occasionally when running the Windows version on Linux using Wine. Unfortunately I cannot replicate it on my development machine which makes it virtually impossible to fix.

Re: Inserting pause after each cut in gcode
You should be able to set the end delay in your tool definition. This will make the torch pause at the end of the cut.

Re: GRBL Plasma w THC, Torch Touchoff, and Rotary
Do you mean using post.DefineCustomOption and post.ShowCustomOptions?
I just checked and it appears to work in both dev and stable.

Re: V Carve plug in
The plugin is for chip carving with a V cutter. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EfNP-O6V3IQ
It is not related to the V-carve CAd-CAM package and won't help you do full 3D milling.

Re: GRBL Plasma w THC, Torch Touchoff, and Rotary
Due to the way SheetCam stores values internally, sc.unitBoolean results in a numeric value that is 1 for true or 0 for false. This works fine in C++ but unfortunately Lua regards anything that is not boolean or nil as true.
