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.

The current stable version should still work with XP.

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.
To be safe you need to do a comparison:

Re: postprocessor for Grbl +4th axis, THC & touch-off
The flat sheet option will make the rotary post just use X,Y,Z. It is a bit more CPU intensive than using a dedicated post but you probably won't notice a difference unless you are doing a lot of very complex artwork with thousands of moves. It only affects the time it takes to run the post processo...

Re: Scnaything - failed to build server
Why did you need to comment out line 46?
Do you have a run-in-place LinuxCNC installation? At a guess you have more than one LinuxCNC installation and the CNCRemote make file is getting confused as to which version is being used. Try running Scanything from within a RIP environment.

Re: RoratyPlasma - Feedrate
Sorry, I missed this question. The post takes care of cutting speed and diameter compensation.
In my experience, Mach3's path planner works better if the rotary axis is set to 1 unit per revolution rather than 360. If you change this in Mach you also need to change it in the post.

Re: add parent menu item
The simplest way to add a menu is to use: app:AddMenu("/&My menu") or: app:SetMenuPath("/") app:AddMenu("&My menu") This will create a new menu on the menu bar somewhere between Options and Help. Exactly where it appears depends on what other plugins are loaded....

Re: plasma THC define custom tool parameter for THC set volts
As long as you have SheetCam TNG then yes, your license will work with the latest version.

Re: part file names
Parts don't always include the drawing file name (e.g a copy won't) but something like this should work: function LoadFile(fileName) local parts = sc.Parts:Get() for idx=0, parts:GetCount() -1 do local part = parts:op_index(idx) if fileName == part:GetFileName() and not part:IsDuplicate() then parts...
