I just bought an Intellimouse and tried it. Of course it worked fine for me! Try the latest development version. Turn on Help->debug log. When you move the mouse wheel you should see some messages appear in the log. Most mice will give values of Rotation = 120, Delta = 120. I am guessing that the Mi...

I've just uploaded a new development version which may help. If this doesn't work the debug log may show some OpenGL related messages (look in Help->debug log).

I have had a few more reports of this. It appears to occur on combined Intel/Nvidia graphics adapters on some new laptops. If your laptop has both Intel and Nvidia then forcing to SheetCam to run on the Nvidia graphics will solve your problem. You can either do this by right-clicking on the SheetCam...

I am not sure that I saw or check "Allow multiple parts" in selection under operations Tab. or when I select the nesting symbol on top does it enable this? Could be part of the problem. No. You managed to create several parts so this is not the problem. I'm not sure.I do see that when I p...

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. Another possibility is that you are trying to save to a nonexistent or protected folder. Try this: Run...

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?
