Re: Tool Name not working correctly
The 'automaticaly name tool' option caused problems when copying tool sets so I replaced it with a method that tried to intelligently work out if you had modified the name. This has caused even more problems so the 'automatically name tool' option is back in the next release (due out within an hour)...

Re: Plugin documentation?
I just checked the code and I made a mistake in the .i file, which is why that doesn't work. This will be fixed in the next dev release.

Re: Plugin documentation?
startValue is a StartPoint instance
You don't need to mess around with casting StartPoint values. It is needed for tool and operation parameters because they can be customized.
Code: Select all
myOperation.defaultStart.leadin = 10 --set leadin length to 10mm

Re: Inside Offset or Outside Offset available to post?
Just a thought - you can move just inside contours to a different layer pretty quickly. In edit contours mode right-click->Select all inside contours. Right-click->move to layer

Re: File name on part
SheetCam can't automatically add text to your drawing based on the file name. It also won't display text in the dxf file. Text in dxf files is a nightmare. The DXF specification is pretty vague, especially where text is concerned. Every different CAD package author interpreted the docs differently s...

Re: 6-1-62 question
I figured it out. I was accidentally distributing a debug version of the dll. This will only run if you have Visual Studio installed. It ran fine on my computer but not on most others.

Re: Plugin documentation?

Re: Development version import problems
The spline issue also affects SVG files
Anyway, it should be sorted in the latest release.

Re: Paths Not Generated Correctly
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
I took a look at the job file and the drawing is tiny, only 4mm across. Was it supposed to be 4" across? When you import your drawing a box pops up with a number of options. Try setting the scaling to inches.

Re: Cutting off material
There isn't really an option to do this. One option would be to do it in your drawing.

Re: Fanuc post processor & cut depth problems
I'm trying to keep the post as generic as possible so the it can be used by others. Give this a try.

Re: Fanuc post processor & cut depth problems
What happens if you have multiple drilling operations, should each drilling operation have it's own goto? What about for other operations?

Re: Cutting off material
SheetCam doesn't have any built in drawing functionality. There is the move operation but it would be a bit clunky to use. You would need one move to the start of the cut and another to do the cut.

Re: Paths Not Generated Correctly
Could you upload a job file (file->save job) with everything set up ready to post process. I'll take a look and try to figure out what is going on.
