So I read the SheetCam manual, followed their instructions and set myself up to run a drilling operation using points set in a drawing. I have the drill points on one layer and the part outline on a different layer. Set everything up per their instructions and things look good. Go to run the cut simulation and it gives me an error message stating that there is zero feed rate and no motion is possible. Pretty frustrating as I really need to use this feature for accurate hole placement for automotive parts. I did read somewhere that it my be a license thing? I am using Solid Edge 2020 for design and SheetCam (free version) for post processing. I have cut several projects with no issues. I just can’t use the drill operation.
Just bought a brand new license for $150 and am having the same issue, so it’s not a license thing. Please help.
Is the plunge rate set to 0 in your drilling operation?
Yes, as I do not have a THC. 
So progress. SheetCam runs the cut and drill operations in simulation just fine. I post process and load the .tap file into FireControl for my Crosscut table. Everything functions the way that it is supposed to with the exception of one thing… the plasma cutter does not fire to drill the hole. The head moves and stops at each location like it is supposed to but it’s not firing to pierce. I do not have a height controller so my pierce height and cut height are both 0. Plunge rate is 60ipm. I am using points to pierce not holes.
That could be a post processor error. What post are you using?
FireControl for my Langmuir Crossfire.
I think some of the Firecontrol posts has this problem. Try this version.
To install this post, save the attachment to any convenient folder on your computer then run SheetCam and go to Options->machine->post processor. Click on the ‘Import post’ button. Using the box that appears, navigate to your post and open it. Go back to Options->machine->post processor and make sure your post is selected.
FireControl-v1.6.scpost (5.01 KB)
That is the one I am currently using.
Set up a job ready for post processing and save it (File->save job). If you send me the job file I’ll take a look and see if I can figure out what is going on.
I just looked at the sample job you sent me and I can’t see anything wrong. Using your post processor I get code like this:
G0 X0.5959 Y1.0896
M3
G4 P0.15
H1
G1 F60.0
H0
M5
G4 P0.25
The G0 is a move to the hole position. M3 turns the torch on. M5 turns it off. Are you getting something like this near teh start of your g-code file?
