HI Les, What I am trying to do is setup Scam to run in confuction with TomC's CandCNC plasma setup as a fluid unit for production. In his setup he has a section to preselect the material and it has all the machine setup info in table form. ( works well if you know what you are cutting) I was hoping ...

HIYA LES, Could you please check the math in the job report parameters for the job area. It seems to be OFF just a tad(;-) The new report is working great just the math is off on area ** Would there be any way to bring over to the report the material info such as the material file name. I used the s...

Hi Les, Looking at the newest dev version.

Under the report debug I see

JobextentW = 1.2598
JobextentH = 1.2598
JobArea = 40.315 in

iF area is H xW then something is wrong with the math.

Hi Les the older versions called the time in SECs SO all my job costing is in secs. When it changed to Min/sec in put a crimp in the costing as I now have to convert the min/sec back into secs.

(;-) TP

HIYA LES, I figured out how to add a MATERIAL section to the report BUT I don't know any of your function calls so I can't populate the report with info.

Is there a LIST of the parameter calls you use in SC ???

HIYA LES, That fixed up the total pierces (;-) on the report NOW is it posible to put the MATERIAL used on the report as well. The saved material file name would be fine. ALSO I noticed the total time now shows as Min/secs. Is there a way to change it BACK to secs only OR include the total time as s...

Hiya Les, On the job report could we get you to include the TOTAL number of pierces to the summary at the end of the report? ALSO could we get you to ADD the Job X/Y EXTENTS to the report summary for Job costing? Maybe a job costing plugin to use mat cost, cut inches, pierces, total cut time,etc and...

HIYA LES, I tried it your way AND it does work BUT some areas are confusing to operators. IF I just open new job and import a drawing I have to Assign operations to layer and apply leadins and outs. THe program will auto assign the drawing name to the posted gcvode file AND the save job file so it i...

HIYA Les just a note to let you know all is working well (;-).

I do like the feel of the newer version. TOP notch (;-)

(;-) TP

HIYA LES, I fixed the weird cross hairs(;-) It was something to do with the scaling Metric imported correctly but not english or scale SO I redownload a fresh version and all is well so far.

Thanks (;-) TP

Hiya Les, Ijust notice one other quirk in the newer version. When I draw a circle and bring in the drawing it makes the BLUE cross marks at the center point HUGE, like 3-4 times the size of the circle(;-)

(;-) TP

HIYA LES, That did the trick (;-) I noticved that OTHERs have had the same problem. I will alert TomC to the problem so he can update the post on his end.

Have you had time to look at adding extents to the job report so we can use it for estimating costs?

(;-) TP

Les it is one from Tom at CandCNC.

MP1000 Dthc -Zref

It works fine on ver V1.0.1 BUT it does not seem to work on any of the Ver 2 upgrades.

I noticed that when I loaded the post it said it had to convert it to the newer ver.


(;-) TP

Hiya Les, Just loaded up the latest stable version and the new offsetting works very well. BUT, it now does NOT post the Gcode for a circle. I can draw a circle and do a plasma opperation for an inside OR outside cut and it draws the offsets correctly BUT doe NOT post the gcode for the circle. IT do...

HIYA LES, Wishing you and family a happy holiday(;-) Sometimes S_cam misses a small closed segment. The segment will be correct and has enough clearances BUT it only does the leadin/out on the segment but it does NOT cut the entire segment. NOW if I go back and just select that segment and reprocess...
