Re: Autoload plugin not working

Try disabling the plugin then look at the log again. Do you still get a warning like this:
Assert failure in function wxDir::GetFirst (C:\wx-3.0\wxWidgets\src\msw\dir.cpp:409). must wxDir::Open() first ("IsOpened()")

Does it work if you choose a directory on your C drive?

Re: Adding Options to Plasma Tool dialog - not enigh screen space

Unfortunately that would be quite hard to implement.

Re: Adding Options to Plasma Tool dialog - not enigh screen space

I'm afraid there isn't much I can do about it in the short term. I'll add scrolling to the to-do list.

Re: Adding Options to Plasma Tool dialog - not enigh screen space

1080p should be plenty. The plasma tool dialog should fit on a 720p display. Are you running a post processor that adds a lot of extra options?

Re: Rotary simulation tool position

Hold down the shift key while dragging with the mouse. That will rotate the display.

Re: Add x,y,z jog to end of operation

The simplest way to do this is to use the parking position. In SheetCam go to Options->job options->parking. Turn on 'Use X' and 'Use Y' then enter the coordinates you want to move to.

Re: turtorials?

If you go to YouTube and do a search for SheetCam tutorials you will find quite a few. The ones by Arclight Dynamics are very good.

Re: Plasma Post Processor read the Leadin type

How are you detecting wiggle and ramp?
I have to admit I would prefer to add an option allow the g-code to specify Z axis moves.

Re: Plasma Post Processor read the Leadin type

leadinType only specifies if it is a lead in or a lead out.

There isn't any easy way for the post to know of the pierce is a ramp or wiggle pierce.

Re: Illustrator Files not importing correctly.

When you import the SVG file a box appears with a bunch of options. Is the pixel size set to 96DPI? If so, try changing it to 90.

Re: postprosser not working for me

Unfortunately quite a few download links broke when I upgraded to PHPBB3 some years ago back. It took a bit of hunting though backups but I think this may be the file you want.

Re: Scanything License

The saving issue could be a problem with your license. What does it say in Help->about?

For the calibration, make sure you have the display set to 'Mask' or 'Mixed'. Is the dot flickering or breaking up? If so, try experimenting with the brightness slider.
