Leadins shown lead ins not cut
This is the 2nd time sheetcam has done this last time only fix i found was to un install and reinstall....but id like to find an answer to WHY and HOW to fix this, sheetcam is showing the leadins but not cutting the ieadins on the table.
It goes to the leadin start on the machine but then goes to the path and starts its pierce on the path instead of cutting the .3" leadin and continuing on its path. any help much appreaciatedRe: Leadins shown lead ins not cut

Re: Leadins shown lead ins not cut
Which sheetcam development version are you using?
Go to Help >> About
The reason why I ask is because my jet cutting operation have another box which says
Start at the centre of circles smaller than .....
Also have you edited the post processor??
The post processor is available for download from here:
https://www.pricecnc.com/support
(I downloaded it and had a look)
There is nothing that jumps out as an issue with their post processor but I notice having a look at your screenshot you posted is adding an M8 after the S500 and before the part operation.... so I'm wondering where the M8 is coming from and if you have changed anything else in the post processor (yes it probably turns on your extract fan or somthing like that) my point being it is helpful if you upload your post processor and provide a little more info as to what version of sheetcam you are running as it will have less head scratching.
I presume that M10P2 / M11P2 is to turn the THC on and off?

Re: Leadins shown lead ins not cut
hmm.... not sure why the problem may happen all of a sudden after 3 years of use... memory issue? temporary files?
just guessing now....
any clues with task manager looking at ram usage?

Re: Leadins shown lead ins not cut
Is it actually running a pierce cycle after the leadin? If your pierce delay is too short the machine may start moving before the torch has fired, which would explain the symptoms you are seeing.
