Darn. Could i create, save, and load a custom scheme? Is there no way to set the color of individual contours from the post? It looks like it should be possible when I look at globals.i in the "class Colours" section in the SDK folder. class Colour : public wxColour { void SetGl(void); voi...

Maybe use the Windows temporary directory instead. Well that works... I was avoiding that because I was afraid User Account Control and permissions may restrict access to the windows folder, but it worked on my machine. Awesome, thanks! I should have just tried instead of assuming it wouldn't work....

Les... I'm almost embarrassed to keep bothering you. So that worked except its saving it under each profile's setting directory instead of the default profile directory. So its saving in "\SheetCam TNG Development\Plasma\screen.png" instead of "\SheetCam TNG Development\screen.png&quo...

Hey Les, I hate to bother you more about this but I really need a little more help here if you don't mind. Are file path wild cards not accepted here? I decided I want to just save the screenshot in the AppData folder and I wanted to use local path = "%APPDATA%\\SheetCam TNG Development\\screen...

Okey Dokey... well that fixed the screen layout issue... but now the tool table and post processor is all goofed up. It asked to load or merge the toolsets so i did merge to see what its doing and it loaded all my tools from all my different jet profiles and set the post processor as Allen Bradley. ...

Hey Les, got another problem going on with the open profiles thingy since the new update. It looks like it is opening the default profile and toolset with the lathe profile and something really wacky is going on when the contours and toolpaths open up. Attached is a screenshot and a job file. (I rea...

When we start a new file it is "Untitled", but when we import .dxf in it, and if there is tick in "Use drawing name as part name", job get that name, and it is no longer untitled, according to window titlebar and already given name in the save as box, so I don't see the point of...

So the "fert bracket drill.tap" file is what you want the output code to do, you want the M00 code? From me looking at the post, it looks like it depends how you have the tools set up as to how it is behaving. Someone else may can tell you without seeing a job file, but I would need to see...

There most likely is another post processor that outputs non-modal motion codes, but unfortunately I cannot say which one it would be. Just scroll through the list and try a few different ones maybe. You can always edit the post, if you feel comfortable doing so, and search for anywhere that says &q...

And yet another way to go is create a profile for each machine and a separate desktop icon to open each. Its a bit more complicated to set up, but if you are going to be using both a lot its well worth it in my opinion. https://forum.sheetcam.com/viewtopic.php?t=6654&sid=18a46e9185fd7c6003c7b4dd...

Les!!! HELP!!! The nesting plugin is gone after the recent update. Does it need an update to work with the recent SheetCAM update?

but maybe a checkbox option like lead in on open paths. This should eliminate the established functionality issue. I like this plan, lets go with this lol. But in realty, this wouldn't help with what I was wanting to do without being able to do a negative leadin. Still I can see it being useful in ...

okay, okay.... you got me, I didn't think that one all the way through. I was just thinking my tangent leadin straight line perfect world case here. Yep, you're absolutely right, negative arc leadin doesn't make any sense. I can picture how it would work, but it would be stupid. It would work with t...

Hey Les, looks like the open contours on jet operations do not support the negative overcut values. Well, any value for overcut for that matter. Could that be changed without too much trouble? Another request, and no matter how strange I promise I have a good reason, could the leadin values be chang...

I haven't had time to test it out, but check the setting in Options > Machine Options > Post Processor > Output Folder. I am betting yours is set to drawing folder. Try changing that setting.
