Worked great. Thanks.

I'm guessing the snippets are always going to be on a new line. Maybe Les will chime in. I don't use snippets.

Nice job. That eliminates the dimple from an extra pierce.

I don't think this is something you can do in the post. I think the overcut is an internal function inside SheetCam. Possibly it could be changed to a tool setting like the leads were a while back.

Is there a way to select multiple parts in a job and move them together? Specifically, I have a standard nest on a 4x8 sheet. Sometimes the sheet is slightly smaller or larger. I cut from the corner opposite of 0,0, so I can easily rezero when I reuse the material later. The problem is, if the sheet...

You may also have problems with wrecking your consumables from the blowback when it's not cutting through.

You should be able to set up the THC totally inside the post. That's how my candcnc setup works. How do you determine where the code snippets go currently? That might help figure out how the post needs modified. Also, which post are you using?

In this specific case I have to disagree. You have not yet saved a job under that name and you may want to call it something else. It also gets complicated if you have loaded and nested multiple drawings. You may want to save the job as something other than a drawing name. Les, I agree with you on ...

I second the odd saving behavior. I've brought it up before. Any other program have used, when closing a file that has previously been saved with a valid filename and then modified will not bring up a save as dialog. It just saves. Only times the save as dialog comes up is if selected off of the fil...

You can save and load toolsets. Should be in the file menu. I think there can only be one default toolset, but you should be able to have as many other toolsets as you want.

What does the M31 macro do? The code looks like it should only raise to 0.1880". I'm guessing the M31 is a touchoff macro. Is it possibly doing something with the z coordinates? Can you single step through the code to see where the problem might be?

I don't think I would ever use overcut on open paths, but maybe a checkbox option like lead in on open paths. This should eliminate the established functionality issue. As a side note, I'm not sure where using a lead in on an open path would be useful. I'm wondering why a lead in, but not a lead out...

Why not just cut the holes using the rotary axis?

You would probably have to do the check in the OnRapid sub and output the M code before the rapid move.
