Re: Can't find where Z values are coming from
Looking at your job file you have a tool length offset defined for your tool. This is added to the overall Z height.

Re: Offset Open Lines
When you import a drawing a box pops up with a number of options. Is that set to metric? If so try setting it to inches.

Re: German Translation
Thank you. I will add the translation to the next release. Was this translation for the stable release or the development release?

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
I found the problem. As far as I can see, the post has always had this problem. That's why I didn't spot the issue before. I was only looking at stuff I had changed.

Re: Sheetcam post process not creating Gcode
Do you get any warnings when you post process?
It could be a license issue. Try reinstalling your license. If that doesn't help, let me know your license ID. You can find it in Help->about.

Re: PostProcessor Mach3 Issue
I'm not seeing any issue in the code. If you look in the tap file you should see this code: N0150 M03 N0160 G04 P1.3 Try changing the pierce delay to 0. After post processing you should see the G04 value change to 0. Is the pierce delay still 0.5s? If so I suspect you have a spindle on delay defined...

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
I had a good look at the post and cannot see anything that could stop it outputting lead ins.
At the start of the cut, does the torch follow the lead in before it starts piercing?

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
Try changing the tool type to 3. If it now works the problem is probably in your Mach4 configuration.

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
That sounds like your pierce delay is too short. The torch is starting moving before it has pierced.

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
I found the problem. I have attached a fixed version of the post. Save the attachment to your computer then double clcik on it. SheetCam should start and automatically install the post. Now restart SheetCam and check iof it works for you.

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
Could you set up a job ready to post process and confirm the tool number is wrong. Then save the job (File->save job as). If you let me have a copy of the job file I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what is wrong.

Re: Mach4-swiftcut post processor
Sorry, I should have looked at the thread title. Looking at the post, you should have a 'Tool type' option in your tool definition. That controls the tool number.

Re: Z action being added, this is new
Have you updated your post processor recently? If not it may be worth installing the latest post from CandCNC.

Re: Turning module
Sorry for the late reply. I just realized what is wrong. In the passes tab of your cut operation it is worth setting up a lead in and lead out. A good starting point for both lead in and lead out is an arc radius of 1mm (0.04") and a line length at least equal to your cut depth. Set the angle t...
