Have you updated your post processor recently? If not it may be worth installing the latest post from CandCNC.

Sorry for the late reply. I just realized what is wrong. In the passes tab of your cut operation it is worth setting up a lead in and lead out. A good starting point for both lead in and lead out is an arc radius of 1mm (0.04") and a line length at least equal to your cut depth. Set the angle t...

The reason why I have been holding off is that proper tip-up avoidance is hard. What I did is a hack that only works in some situations. It just happens to work well for your specific application.

I don't know what is going on with the profiles. I'll continue testing and see what I can find.

Link says file not found....

I tried it just now and it worked. Could you try again.

Hey Les, hope all has been well! We've been crazy busy over here and I haven't had time to bother you with requests and bug fixes. I'm sure you have enjoyed my silence lol. I was beginning to think it was something I said :lol: Did you ever get a chance to look into this? It looks like the profiles...

Sorry for the delay in answering but you should not need any extra software. In SheetCam go to Options->machine->post processor and select the burny25 post processor. Next change the 'Output file extension' setting to nc instead of tap.

Could you send me an example job file demonstrating the issue.

I'm sorry but I have never used a Burny controller, so I don't know. Hopefully the Burny manual should tell you.

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 ...

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!

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...

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?

Just to add to djreiswig's suggestion you can find the plugin in Options->plugin options->moreposts.

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 ...

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.
