Easy change

How about the ability to have both the mist and flood coolent on.

I also have a program with a large group of pockets (400), currently sheetcam seems to do some here and some there. If they were a contour operation I could optimize it and sheetcam cuts in groups.

Why do you need both mist and flood at the same time?

You can change the cut order of pockets in the same way as you change the cut order of operations.

Why do I want both on at the same time... Cause I am not using them the way they are intended.

The mist turns on a dust collector, the flood turns on a vacuum pump that holds the parts in place.

I have one operation that cuts all 400 pockets. I attached the job if that helps show it. I also appreciate the help and understand that CNC training wasn't part of the purchase price.

You can always use code snippets to turn auxiliary stuff on and off. You can create code snippets to output any code you want.

Hey, sheetcam is very flexible program and very easy to use.
I always preferred it

is it possible to let sheetcam add numbers for each line in the generated
codes?

This would be helpful when searching for specific lines/commands in the gcode.

Thank you very much and best regards,

Which post processor are you using? Most posts do this already.
