In the Post documentation:

materialTop
Z coordinate of material top (always 0)

I say this is not true.
When either "material thickness" or "height of bottom of material above table" is set then material top is set to the sum of those (not 0).
Not a big issue but easy to fix.

I don’t think you can see it until the OnToolChange() function is called. The tool is not set in OnInit()

The loop is reasonable easy to avoid by adding a small fillet on the corners where the loop is unwanted.

I feel I have to explain this better. I have used the dogbone technique quite a lot on the milling machine. But when trying it on the plasma cutter it just seems to mess up the angularity of the cut. The outside corner loop feature gave me better angularity near the corner so I thought this could be...

Tried to cut some parts with inner corner loops by drawing the offset in cad and it works quite good.

It would be nice to have the option to loop inner corners too. When creating square holes to fit an other cut part you want no radius in the inner corner. I can do a bone like hole in cad but I cant get as good cutting result as when doing a loop. If I draw a loop in CAD then SheetCam make a small e...

Oh. Thats where it all happens.

Strange. Which post processor are you using? Is it possible to attach the sheetcam file for us to try? And also the generated g-code.

You can't remove the tool dropdown but you coud do the rest by using custom tool variables. post.DefineCustomToolParam also works for operations so for instance you could use something like this to define a material thickness option: post.DefineCustomToolParam("JetOperation", "Materi...

Yes!
After a lot of restarts renaming and resetting the values in the tool dialog it finally gave up and passed the parameters to the post processor. Not really sure what made it work.

The issue is still there in the 6.1.55 test version. The custom tool parameters appears in the tool dialog but are nil in the post processor as if they never are initiated.

I would like to develop a plugin that replaces the tool choice in the operation dialog with three choices. Material thickness and material type and from this calculate the kerf with. All the other calculations like feed rate, pierce height, cut height etc I can calculate in the post processor. Is th...

I have the same issue. I can't find any way to access the custom tool parameters anywhere in the post processor code.
