Re: Offsetting Open Paths for Rotary

Move the start points to the other end of the lines. It should switch the cut side.

Re: Path rules for torch movement between cuts

It looks like the rapid feed rate is based on motor tuning. https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=38238.0 If you want to have a slower rapid I think you will have to change the code from G0 to G1. Then you can add an Fxxx code to set your desired speed. You will have to edit the post pro...

Re: Path rules for torch movement between cuts

The rapid speed setting should be in your controller software. SheetCam just outputs a rapid command. Tell us about your table and we might be able to help you figure out how to slow it down.

Re: Move contour to part with mirror problem and some thoughts

There is a dxf post processor that will turn the job into a dxf file. It's pretty slick.

In the import box there is a choice to pick where to place the part. Try putting it at 0,0 and see if you can see it. Your drawing might be at some far out coordinates in the file.

Re: download file for older version sheetcam

Sounds like a good possibility.
You could email Les. Maybe he will see that before this thread. His email is his name at SheetCam dot com.

Re: download file for older version sheetcam

You could be right. Maybe try removing your license and see if you get short code to work. I think it's limited to like 180 lines.

Re: download file for older version sheetcam

Maybe you're in the wrong mode? Do you have the selection tool (arrow) on the toolbar selected? I know some modes lock certain things out.

Do you have a post processor selected on the computer that the button doesn't work?

Re: Post processor questions, a lot of them

I'll try to answer as much as I can. SheetCam works in metric (the programmer is from England). All post variables are in mm. Scale is dependent on what units you are using in SheetCam. I believe there is a setting in one of the menus. If you want inches output then scale is 25.4, otherwise it is 1....

Re: download file for older version sheetcam

Your profile and macros are the important part. Everything should be stored in the Mach3 folder. If you back that up you should be able to put everything back if necessary.
I don't think you will have any issues with updating Windows.
