Thanks Les, here it is.

Have you had a chance to look at this one yet Les?
Thanks, Steve

Hi Les, Thought I'd add a couple more things. In version 6-1-50 when I post a job with the plasma1 post modified for flame cutting and have chain cutting enabled, (will only chain cut to a copied part (hint, hint!)) when it moves to the second part it is adding the preheat cycle to the operation. Ne...

Hi Les, 1st part is the original and it doesn't chain to it's duplicate. I copied the part and made a copy of it and it will chain those two.
It seems like it used to work but I don't know if I have changed something or what...

Thanks again, Steve

When I duplicate parts the chain cutting doesn't seem to work but when the part is copied it will connect them fine. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Or am I missing something!

Thanks, Steve

If you are using Mach3 there is a wizard called Copycat, jog and learn for router, I use it with a usb camera mounted on the torch body to trace parts. It would work with a pointer in place of the torch cap as well, It is quite accurate with a camera! I would think you could trace around your remnan...

Thanks for considering it Les, I think I would be better to add a separate pre-pierce lead-in in my cad program on it's own layer, post that as one operation then post the profile cut as a second operation. It would then be an edge start with little preheat time... It just might work! I'll do some e...

The way it was explained to me was to pierce and have a short lead-in cut with a sacrificial tip, stop, put in a good tip and make the cut with a known clean one. If you foul a tip it's almost always done on the pierce, the heavier the plate the bigger the volcano! I don't do enough heavy plate (ove...

That would be perfect!
Thank you Les

I posted this at the Yahoo site too, so just in case you it there :-) Hi Les, I would like to modify the pre-pierce post for flame cutting, it would be ideal if it could preheat, pierce and ramp down to cut height then stop maybe 1/2" from the part edge, change the tip then re-post with the fla...

Exactly what I was looking for! Once again Thank You Les!!
