I'm afraid not. The license is only for one PC.

In SheetCam go to Options->application options->drawing import and increase the arc fitting tolerance. Set the minimum segments for arc fitting to 4 or 5. These settings only have an effect when you import the drawing. G-code doesn't understand slpines so splines are converted to short line segments...

That is a bug in the post. Either delete the line or change it to this:

Code: Select all

if(thcOffCode) then
   post.Text(thcOffCode)
end

In Options->machine options->post processor, do you have the Z zero set to the top of the spoil board or the top of the table? If so, set it to the top of the work.

Edit your post and look for this section of code. Your version may be slightly different depending on the post. function OnNewOperation&#40;&#41; post.Text &#40;" &#40;Process&#58; ", operationName, "&#41;\n"&#41; if &#40;plungeRate <= 0&#41; t...

You can tell by looking in Help->about. If there is no license it only limits the amount of code you generate when you run the post processor.

SheetCam knows there isn't room to fit the cutter between the circles so it doesn't try. To get around this pput the outer circle on a different layer so you can cut it separately.

Yes, you can use the license with both dev and stable at teh same time as long as they are both on the same computer. You'll have to install the license in dev in the same way as in stable.

It is interesting to hear that an update fixed your virtual function call issue.

That's really strange. I can't think how turning that feature on then off again would fix the problem.
Joe, could you try switching to fast rubberband mode and if that doesn't work, switch back. Does measure then work?

G91 just tells the machine that you are using incremental code. It doesn't tell the post to use incremental.
I would suggest starting with an incremental post such as the burny 25 post and modifying it to suit your Hypertherm.

That is possible if you understand Lua programming. If this is your first attempt to modify a post you may struggle. In OnPenDown and OnPenUp you will need this as the first line: if toolClass ~= "PlasmaTool" an toolClass ~= "PlasmaTool" then return end Copy OnSpindleChanged, OnS...

Hmm, that's odd. Is the development version of SheetCam on the same computer?

Go to Options->application options->Display and enable 'fast rubberband graphics' Does that help?

Are you using the latest version? This sounds like a bug that was fixed a couple of releases ago.
