Yup, I just replied to your email a few minutes ago. I'll copy a part of the email here: Currently SheetCam does not have any real control over start points. They generally end up on the start of the first line/arc of the shape. Looking at your example I can see that manual placement is an absolute ...

Go to Help->tutorials->operation tutorials->tutorial 3. That should run you through the basics of creating cut paths.

To check if your copy is licensed go to Help->about. It should not matter if your copy is registered or not. The only difference is that the unregistered version limits the amoutn of code that is generated.

I am not too sure how to handle folders. I'll look into it. I think being able to link operations is probably more important though.

My web host has been having some problems recently. They were subjected to a DDOS attack and it appears to have messed a few things up. I guess that could have caused the multiple posts. AJ, I looked at your cose and it looks correct to me. If you enter G0X0Y0 does it move to the bottom right corner...

The main reason for recommending the tutorial is that it rules out any problems with your drawings.

The first thing to check is that you have View->Show input paths and View->show tool paths turned on. If you have, go to Help->tutorials->titorial 1. Do you see the sample 'CAM' drawing?

In your cut operation do you have the correct layer selected? You should see green tool paths if everything is set up correctly.

Coudl you email the job file to me les at sheetcam.com

If I remember correctly Camcut uses Mach3 so use teh Mach3 plasma post. If you have THC use the MP1000-THC-scriber post. You will need to edit the post and change a few settings to suit your machine. I would recommend trying the Mach3 plasma post first as it is the simplest to get working. For feed ...

Unfortunately you can't do this at the moment. I will look inot linking one set of operations to all parts.
