Oops, my bad. Edit the post and look for function OnArc. Look for this code: if&#40;arcAngle <0&#41; then post.ModalText &#40;" G03"&#41; else post.ModalText &#40;" G02"&#41; end and change it to if&#40;arcAngle <0&#41; then post.ModalText &#40...

That's interesting. What version of SheetCam are you currently using? It is possible that ATI released an updated driver which caused a problem and rolling back windows went back to the previous version.

The crash occurred in atioglxx.dll which is part of the ATI OpenGL display driver. The most likely reason for this is s problem with your display driver. If you do a search online you may find a more up to date driver.

We are sorting this out off-list but it appears to be a problem with the license.

I am afraid there isn't any easy way to do this apart from the method you were given.

Thanks for that bit of detective work. I can now replicate the fault here. I'll make sure it is fixed for the next release.

I never use file->quit which is why I never saw the fault.

I found the problem. I'll release an update shortly.

I am working on a possible fix for this.

Hi Steve,

I can't seem to replicate that fault here. SheetCam seems to close correctly after editing a post.

Try using the Mach3 plasma post. That post doesn't do any touch-off. It will try to turn the torch on so you will need to turn your plasma power source off.

Could you post the job file so I can run some tests.

Keep the THC disabled and go back to teh THC post you were using. This will now use the surface probing. Does it cut correctly?

Try using the 'Mach3 plasma' post and disable THC. Does it still tend to move upwards? If so, reduce your Z axis maxcimum speed or acceleration. If not the problem is THC/probing related. Let me know how you get on.

Yup, that's right.

The rotary axis needs to be set at some convenient number of units per revolution. For instance 360 units/rev (each unit is one degree). In my testing 1 unit per rev seems to work a little more smoothly than 360/rev though I don't know why that should be. You need to then edit your post and make sur...
