thanks les (I don't think I could get the font size sorted on wine as all the menu text went wrong)

as per the title, is there much difference between windows and Linux sheetcam versions?

should I be running sheetcam on wine on Linux or the sheetcam linux version?

(slowly been converting to Linux and getting the software I like to run on Linux)

thanks les

does the tap file have anything in it?

open it with notepad as it is a text file

Thanks Les,

If Carlsberg did Cam software!

+1 Les,

Same with me on my windows Sheetcam version 7.1.0 {just updated}

Thanks Les,

Much appreciated as always for your time.

Les,

rotary axis setup in linuxcnc, do I need to use letters U, V or W in lieu of AB or C.

given it seems that ABC are fixed rotational axis and are not linear as sheetcam expects to see?

thanks

not a problem Les, I've been slowly switching to Linux (getting my head into it) and I was looking at a milling path, and wondered if estlcam ran on Linux..... well it doesn't.... not a problem, I thought Id just ask understand completely, to be fair no one is really asking for it, other than me occ...

worth a bump....

think you are going to have to provide a little more information as to which DSP controller you have ....

it's like me asking you what tyres I should use on my car? (round fat ones is probably not going to help me)

Les that would be very good in sheetcam (or a secondary plugin / product), put me on that list to buy / trial for you. I am just a hobby user and not a big user, but the problem I see is the flexibility of postprocessing that allows the gcode sequence to be changed as some CNC controllers don't have...

Keith, yes that's the upgrade stick that you need. it will boot up (if you tell your bios to boot via USB first) and it will ask which drive do you want to wipe and install it on.... note WIPE. it will then reboot and look for compatible Mesa card hardware (5i25 or 7i92 it seems).... if it doesn't f...

I hope I'm wrong.... I really genuinely do.... I see you got replies.... proof of the pudding is in the eating.... see what they release.... (wonder how soon though... just watch and wait) I'm back dabbling with linuxcnc (path pilot) for a lathe .... see what happens. for my needs (plasma) uccnc doe...

I suspect the the drop down to the plate and then stop may be because you are calling an M3.... and have thc enabled..... therefore Mach is waiting for the ArcOK signal before moving off and following the path.... try using something else like M7 to get your scribing routine going..... read next sec...

yes it is fair to say non existent.... if you look at the replies they are just spinning logs and replying to the run of the mill stuff .... if you ask a proper technical question ... it gets ignored (not the noob setup stuff (my spindle runs when I turn the machine on... the probing doesn't work et...
