updated version 22.1 -- 22.1 fixed machine pause logic on new part. During testing this morning I discovered that parts are not processed in the order that they reside in the part tree. That makes sense such that optimization can do its job, cutting parts in the most efficient order and per optimiza...

udpated to version 22 -- 21 added OnDrill() support pecking or pierce hole See the function OnDrill() for fine tuning the pecking parameters; %(75) of pierceDelay, and %(50) of plunge distance to "cutHeight", thus no need to change tool for plasma "drilling" or pecking. 0.75 and ...

Other than ordering tools by number, is there another way to group them ?
For instance a hierarchical grouping that can collapse and expand by clicking top level ?

I'm not sure if this is the right answer, but for now its a workable solution...

its not critical, easy to work around. I have found it hanging though other than on first launch after a reboot. Its an odd one for sure.
If I discover a repeatable pattern, I'll post here.
thanks for checking.

yes to all the above. However the gcode I posted was produced for "bench" testing, where I use a grbl Atmega2560 4 axis board on my desk and not connected to a physical CNC machine; thus I have to produce different torch probing cmds and not set reset G92 Z0 point after each probe. The scp...

Ah ha - like minds :) I have been updating my scpost to do the same. Just finished it. Not tested but a only a couple of times with "bench" test through grbl. I first tried B axis word with my 4 axis grbl and it puked on the B word, understandable since grbl is configured to expect A axis ...

OK, got it, I think. You DO desire the YB motion then, so you don't have to swap the XY motor control signals to do rotary. Someone (Les?) will have to advise on how Rotary-plasma plugin and a related scpost produce YB motion. again - https://forum.sheetcam.com/viewtopic.php?t=9151 I can't get my he...

It's hard to understand the problem since we don't know what the drawn shape is supposed to look like. Please post a picture of flattened shape as it appears in the SC graphic window, and might as well post the job file, scpost, and .nc or gc files also. But besides that unknown, I don't see a probl...

ok, I caught the screenshot of the hang. It occurred to me that it failed this morning after a Win restart/reboot. So after 10 or so SC launches without a hang, I restarted Win and boom SC failed on the first attempted launch after the restart. The screenshot posted was before I clicked in the SC wi...

this has occurred twice out of 30 or so launches since installing. It hangs with the main window open but the visual graphic window not yet painted or colored. There are "shadows" of one row of large buttons in the top left quadrant of the full screen window. The vertical window frames lef...

update version 21.1 sorry for the quick change, but I decided to make the OnDrill() function/operation a pecker instead of a driller, but you have the option to easily adjust the pecking parameters in OnDrill(), so you can make it a driller just as easily. This is done without needing to change the ...

updated to version 21

updates involve clarification of code comments and testing and corrections to OnDrill()

I ran your scpost with the debugger and found that currentZ ~= safeZ test in OnRapid() was preventing the posting of Z15, notice the G00 was posted in your .tap. btw- In that same "if" stmt, you are testing offZ as if its boolean but its not, its numeric and thus will always test TRUE unle...

try this snippet, it worked for me in some test cases this morning... -- test code -- match any char from begining of string to comma and return that substring local s = string.match ( operationName, "^.-," ) if s~= nil then -- remove the comma at the end s = string.sub ( s, 1, string.len(...
