What error message do you get?

An arc is a circle if the start and end are at the same place.
Try this in function OnArc:
if(math.hypot(endX - currentX, endY - currentY) < 0.001) then
radius = math.hypot(currentX - arcCentreX, currentY - arcCentreY)
...the rest of your code here
end

It looks to me like Mach isn't seeing the 'arc good' signal. Mach thinks the torch hasn't fired so it sits there waiting for the torch.

Hey everyone, I really hope that there is some of you guys out there who are able to help a struggling builder. I decided to start with (ie, before I get THC) I would build a floating head so that the machine will "auto-zero" before each time it pierces the material. So far so good, physi...

Is your clock set correctly? If your computer's clock is out you can get this message. If you don't use teh V carve plugin go to Options->plugin options->Vcarve2 and make sure 'Enabled' is turned off.

Oddly enough the very early releases of SheetCam did link directly to the drawing files instead of storing them internally the the job files but that was very unpopular. However drawing import does not change any of your settings. If you have a job set up and import a new drawing into that job all o...

Did you install the correct runtime? You can download it from here http://www.sheetcam.com/Download/vcredi ... vc2009.exe

Go to Options->application options and reduce the start point size. That should fix it.

This is on the to-do list. It was planned to be ready for testing by now but due to other commitments I have hardly started on it.

Curiouser and curiouser. I see the fault if I load your job in V6.0.2 but if I load the drawing into that version after loading your job it then works correctly. I have attached the job file. Could you tell me what settings you have in Options->system parameters. The V6.x series is now very old and ...

Hmm, that is strange. I can't find anything wrong. I loaded the job and all of the tool paths were generated correctly. What version of SheetCam are you using? (look in Help->about)

I just checked the drawing and I can't see anything obviously wrong. Could you post the job file (file->save job) with the profile cuts set up so I can see exactly what settings you are using.

There are two methods of doing this. The first method works with both the stable and development versions. Go to c:\program files\SheetCam TNG and make a copy of SheetCam TNG.exe. Give it a sensible name. Now make a shortcut to it. When you run the shortcut it will start with completely separate set...

Try the MP1000-THC-scriber post. At the strat of the post are a number of parameters you need to edit to suit your machine. You can ignore the scriber stuff. Set refHome = false to use probe.

Oops, I missed something out of the documentation. Your init.tap should end with M99.
