Sheetcam not writing g code
Hello, I just had to get a new Pc as I was having issues with he old on. A family member imaged my old computer. I can open sheetcam and import a file, set it up and get it ready to cut but once that new file is opened in mach3 there is no gcode written to it.

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
First of all do you see the green tool paths? If so does simulation work?
Do you get any g-code at all? What post processor are you using?

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
Thanks for the reply, I am getting green tool paths and I am using mach3 plasma.scpost.
It is only writing about 9 lines of gcode from what I can see in mach3

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
That looks like a license issue. Could you send me your license name or serial number in a PM. You can find the license details in Help->about.

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
I am having this exact same issue. Was able to make about a dozen files then it started doing the same lines as shown and not writing the part code. I will PM you the same issue.

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
It is probably a license problem. If you PM me the license serial number I'll check it for you. You can find the serial number in Help->about.

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
Have just purchased sheetcam. I too am not getting g code generating in my program. I suspect a license issue as all other variables have functioned well.

Re: Sheetcam not writing g code
hi, a follow up to my complaint on the g-code issue. i had assumed the failure because no file was showing when i went to download to my cnc controller. however in locating the file and opening it in wordpad showed that it was indeed generating a g-code. So i deduced that my controller software wasn't able to "see" the files from Sheetcam. I went back to my controller's site and found a download for a Sheetcam interface. All is well now and i am kicking out product, happily.
