Good afternoon, that sounds wonderfull, however I am not that smart Lots of things are possible when you know how, I am an old dog now and very hard to learn new stuff, in fact hard to learn anything at all

Gentelmen thankyou for your replies. I was hoping that there would be something that you can do in Mach3 or the computer running the G code. Ideally I would like to know if all is operating as it should then you can walk away (not too far) and let it go. At the moment I like to the pause at the tool...

I am using a CandCNC post. DTHC-HTY-TAP_Softpierce+Marker=rev12D

As the heading goes and again this probably has been covered before, so please let me appologise in advance, how do you get continuous operation with nested parts and different operations. Please let me explain. If I cut one part that had two operations (marking and then plasma cutting) I have 'clic...

Thankyou very much for that. After some fiddling I understood what you meant. I have been trying to get this and things like this done for quite some time. This is a very handy tool, only problem I feel is the faulty operator unit pressing the buttons and the old timers disease that afflicts him

Thankyou for that reply, however that didn't work for me. I imported a drawing with three pieces on it and when I press the right mouse button I get a large columb with "set parts order" at the top. I can't seem to get the 'breakup' anywhere. I must be doimng something wrong but as yet don...

Firstly my appologies, as this may have been covered before. I have been given a drawing (dxf) in this case three items ramdomly spaced on the drawing. What I need to do is to move the individual drawings individually around to nest them on a sheet. I know how to copy and duplicate, but that's not i...

Thanks for that Steve. Yes got on here now just to clarify that very point. I have had the 'use colours as layer names' box checked for years now and never changed it, didn't know what it was for, so never touched it. Had been playing around with one of the engineers that I work with doing dxf's and...

Good morning swiftcut.
I do get the layer colours, but not the layer number / identification in the 'layer' box on the left hand side of the screen. That is what I am after, since the 'layers' from the guy doing the drawings is very important in this case

Good morning Les. I am being sent dxf files from a marine engineer, basically cut out files for the boat that we are to build. Now he has put different layers on the drawings to indicate lineup marks, bend lines, weld positioning, then the inside and outside contours. My problem is that when I impor...

Good morning Les.
Just to make sure, there is no way that, that can be done in sheetcam?
Any cad package can do this? I have corel draw with dxf export (I know that it isn't a engineering drawing package), but to delete lines it should do that. I will try that for starters.

Thanks again

Good morning to all. Sorry to hyjak this thread, but I have a question regarding the dxf drawings. In the video on sheetcam rotary, the piece of shs shown, is depicted as a solid 3d item, which it is supposed to be. Now I have been given a solidworks, flattened out dxf and sheetcam wants to cut alon...

Good morning to all. Again stupid question, have been playing with the rotary and all seems to be working as expected,however, my understanding is that I must either draw or get a 'opened up dxf drawing for this to work. The mod that I do work for do supply me with the dxf drawings for flat plate to...

Thankyou for that Les. Been a while and couldn't remember

Thankyou for the reply Les. Just had a look and have the rotary Mach3 from Tom, had been so long that I couldn't remember, so all I have to do is get the rotary from your site? Is there a way to find out what I have purchased from you? Sorry for the questions, have been so busy lately, long hours, i...
