Re: Scanything setup and configuration questions
It's been a long time since I've used Scanything, but I do remember a little. First off, you will need to enter a license key in Scanything/Help/about. That key should have been emailed to you by Les after you bought the Scanything program. The camera is a USB camera. I can't remember what it is I b...

Re: Setup and use plasma centre punch
Check your minimum and maximum hole size in your drilling operation dialog box. The hole you are trying to mark the center of needs to be sized between those 2 dimensions.

Re: torch not shutting off until it moves to home
How about posting your g-code file so we can see what it's telling the controller to do?

Re: path rules and tools "disappeared" mid session
One possibility I can think of: Did you load an old job and then save the default tool-set? The reason I ask is it seems like the job saves a copy of the tool-set that created it, then loads that tool-set when the job is loaded (I think.) Just a thought, Steve (If that is the case, then loading a ne...

Re: strange plasma bevel cut (first cuts)
From all the posts I've been reading lately, it appears these Cut50 type machines are Hi-freq start machines, which put out a lot of electrical noise when they fire the torch. People seem to be spending a lot of time and money trying to get their tables to work with the the Plasma cutter. I hope you...

Re: strange plasma bevel cut (first cuts)
There are a number of things that can cause beveled cuts. The torch not being perfectly plumb in both the X and Y directions being one of them. The torch being too high or too low will also cause bevel cuts. The consumables in the plasma torch can cause the bevel if they are getting worn, are incorr...

Re: DXF Scale
There is a scale dialog box that opens when you first import the dxf into sheetcam.

Re: Commissioning a new DIY plasma machine
Since there is no THC involved, let's forget about voltage. That only leaves the cut speed that you need to figure out. So take a look at the Hypertherm tool charts, choose an appropriate speed based on the thickness of the material you are going to cut, and set up some test cuts.

Re: Commissioning a new DIY plasma machine
I know nothing about the equipment you are using, but can offer a few suggestions. First off, the kerf width is how wide the cut is. Generally the thicker the metal, the wider the Kerf. So the Kerf width will vary for each different thickness of metal. The cut speed and cut voltage will also vary wi...

Re: dfx problem
Is the layer box visible when you import the drawing? Perhaps all that is needed is to click on the View menu item and then click on the Layer Tool.

Sheetcam fails to load
Les, First off, this is not a big deal. Since I converted my system over to Linux, I've had one small problem. Every once in a while, Sheetcam will fail to completely load on my Linux computer. Sometimes all I get is the Blue splash screen, sometimes I'll get that and a blank window behind it. It on...

Re: Hypertherm 65 tools
The HT65 tool tables are in your HT owners manual. Some table manufacturers also include them with their table software.

Re: Drawing Import Issue?
This seems somewhat familiar, like I have read about it before, just don't know where or what. :?: Anyway, while I think about your problem some more, are you running any cut rules? With CommandCNC, there is only 1 cut rule you should be using, and I seem to remember it being "EOCAnti-dive"...

Re: Sheetcam won't post process after update
To find out if your Linux computer is 32 bit or 64 bit, open your Terminal Emulator, then type in lscpu You should get a printout, with a line like CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit If you get that line, then you have a 64 bit computer. If it just says 32 bit, then you have a 32 bit computer. Hope that...
