The problem is on line 372 in your post: post.Text (" G01 F1270 z10") post.Text simply outputs text to the gcode file. That means the post does not know the machine has moved. This is a better solution: post.ModalText(" G01") post.ModalNumber (" F", 1270, "0.0###&q...

Hi Scott, I have the latest download now, and would like to access them (options).. How do you get to the variable torch height for piercing thicker metal? I am guessing it would be something like start the pierce at a certain height, and raise up to keep the nozzle clean, and then lower to cut heig...

I am guessing it is a graphics issue. Do your two computers have separate graphics cards? If so, try swapping them.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been making some changes to rotary recently. I am working on rotating the beam when you are cutting the web as you approach the flanges so you can cut right up to the flanges. This version shouldn't have ended up in the release.

Rotary uses the tube center as Z0 because the surface height of the work depends on the angular axis position for all shapes apart from round.

Oops, you are right. After doing a bit more testing that appears to be two bugs.
1) If you have no leadin or leadout it ignores the undercut (applies to this release and earlier ones as well)
2) If you have no leadout it ignores the undercut (new for 6.1.30)

I'll try to get a fix out ASAP.

Yup, that is definitely a bug. To work around the issue for the moment you can move your start points away from the tabs. I will do some more testing to see what is going on.
