Re: True shape nesting
I for one would have no issue paying an additional amount for the option, depending on pricing, I guess.

Re: Drawing import tab guidelines
I ran into the issue again today, and was able to see what WyoGreen saw. File looks great as a native .cdr file, but will export with small errors when I save it as an .svg. Using Corel2017. Odd.

Re: inserting cutpaths manually
I agree with both of these! LOl The current remnant cutoff works, but takes some tweaking and is less than ideal. I'll usually just draw the cutoff line, and import it as a different layer. I would be SUPER excited for Sheetcam to implement true part nesting. The ability to import a .part file (comp...

Re: Drawing import tab guidelines
Yes, I re-opened both the .cdr and the .svg file, and it's clean in both of them.

what would need to happen to get true shape nesting?
I feel true shape nesting is all that Sheetcam really lacks. That"s the one area that the "process" guys (ie, CorelDraw to Sheetcam to LinuxCNC) can t compare with the all-in-one guys (PlasmaCam, Flashcut, etc). What would need to happenin order have it integrated into Sheetcam (vs th...

Re: Drawing import tab guidelines
Here's an example. The "loop" is created in the lower right hand quadrant, immediately to the right of pierce point S20. I've attached a copy of the SVG file as well. Looking at the SVG file in Corel, there is no issue at that point. There are a couple of nodes close together (about .020&q...

Drawing import tab guidelines
I've been having issues with Sheetcam creating loops/overlaps on imported drawings. I create drawings in Corel 2017, join curves, reduce nodes, make sure paths are closed, etc. The drawings look fine in Corel. Still, sometimes Sheetcam will create overlaps on corners, etc. I can play with some of th...

Min Cut Length for DTHC question
Does this rule only apply to the cut line/geometry as a whole, or can it switch on mid-cut? If I have a 40" circle, but I only want the DTHC to turn on after the .5" leadin, can I set "Min Cut Length for DTHC" to 2", so that it will go beyond the lead-in, and get into the ge...

DXF post processor issue
I tried to use the DXF post processor for the first time, and I've having issues. I'm running the CandCNC Linux setup, their most recent revisions. Sheetcam is 6.1.50. I've pulled up an old job file, and changed the post to the DXF post. I've removed all offset, lead-ins, lead-outs, and overcuts. I ...

Re: Q regarding lead-in spacing from other cuts
Well, that explains it! Thanks Les.Les Newell wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 10:01 am Layers are processed separately so you would need to put everything on one layer for SheetCam to make sure the leadins clear.

Re: Q regarding lead-in spacing from other cuts
These are nested in CorelDraw, and exported to Sheetcam as layers. The image above has 2 layers: 1) cars/flags (more important, cut them first), and then 2) circles (cut them after I've cleared layer 1 parts from the table). The layer "issue" in the original post was a product of Sheetcam ...

Re: Scanything for large objects
I never knew Sheetcam had a DXF post processor. That's pretty awesome. Learn something new every day!Les Newell wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 10:00 amOnce you have the drawing loaded, set up a simple 'no offset' cut on it then use the dxf post processor to export it as a cleaned up dxf.

Re: Q regarding lead-in spacing from other cuts
Could it be trying to chain cut the parts to avoid the extra pierce? I know there is a chain length setting, but I can't see the entire other part to see if that might be the case. No. Chain cutting was disabled (0 distance), and if you look closely at the cut path (may not be able to zoom in on th...
