Re: Turning module
It looks like the taper from the tool post angle is caused by the path generator appying the tool path angle the wrong way around. Reversing the turrent angle generates the correct tool paths but simulation will get upset. I'll have to fix this. The outer diameter and inner diameter are roughly the ...

Re: Turning module
It's starting the path 1 tool radius in from the start point and ending 1 tool radius before the end point.
Looking at the code I specifically offset the start and end points but now I have no idea why I did it!

Re: Turning module
Sorry for the delay in replying. I just emailed you a temporary license. The generated code should be in diameter mode. The slope had me puzzled for a moment but it is caused by your tool definition. You have a side angle of 0 degrees with a clearance angle of 2 degrees. When generating tool paths S...

Re: Application Colors
Is this with AMD on-board graphics or with an AMD card? The issue must be only on specific AMD setups or I would have more complaints of this issue.
Try enabling View->Show true width. Does that help?

Re: DXF vs. SVG import format ?
Historically SheetCam's SVG import was a bit buggy but these days it is pretty solid. These days the choice of file format mostly relates to the application the file was exported from. For example Inkscape has history of isses with it's dxf export so I generally recommend SVG with Inkscape. In your ...

Re: SketchUp to SheetCam impasse!
If the files look the same in QCad then the problem is almost definitely Sketchup. I'm afraid I don't use Sketchup so I can't offer any more advice on how to fix it.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm afraid Wright distributed pirated licenses that no longer work. I'll reply to your email to sort that out.

Re: Typo in angle, then crash
I can replicate the fault here. Most input boxes allow you to enter expressions. For instance if you want to define an operation that always cuts through your material plus a bit you could set the cut depth to: MaterialThickness + 0.5mm Now if you change the material thickness that operation will au...

Re: SC Dev v7.1.35 hangs occasionally upon startup, Win11
Well, that's unexpected. I'll run some tests and see if I can replicate the problem. Thanks for letting me know what you found.

Re: Residual Material cutting
It's called 'rest machining' and I have looked into it a couple of times. Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out a good, reliable way of implementing rest machining.

Re: Issues loading file to sheetcam
Could you post the problem file here or email it to me direct. Job files are roughly 50% text so if you can't read it in Notepad it must be pretty badly damaged.

Re: Can I make the job-file remember the last post-processor used?
Yes, the /pp switch should work. However the OP wants to run a plasma and a router. As these two machines use very different settings I think two profiles would be better suited in this case.

Re: Can I make the job-file remember the last post-processor used?
Sorry I'm a bit late to the party here but it looks like having two profiles would work for you.

Re: SC Dev v7.1.35 hangs occasionally upon startup, Win11
I have seen that occasionally when running the Windows version on Linux using Wine. Unfortunately I cannot replicate it on my development machine which makes it virtually impossible to fix.
