Re: Highest DXF version Sheetcam handles?

I don't think it makes any difference as I use 2021 autocad and brics cad

just some entities such as splines will not import (from any version) the problem is they are 3d entities.... you can convert them to polyline though

Re: Post processor for HiCON controller?

it's not the controller but the CNC software that runs the controller that is important.

so look for a mach4 post processor if that is what CNC software you are running

Re: Slow speed on the 1st Probe to metal

you may be better to have a look at the plasma spider forum as that has a lot of traffic and deals with plasmacnc.

this forum is a bit specific to sheetcam and tends to get less footfall as it's quite specific

happy cutting.

Re: Slow speed on the 1st Probe to metal

torch fire = M3 / spindle clockwise

create your own, you will probably need to tweak it anyway to your setup but it will get you started.

(I use a hypertherm 45 non XP)
