Don't know about your drawing format but how about saving the toolpath in dxf format using the dxf pp.

You could then reimport it as drawing.

Hi Les,

will you make a rotary plugin for milling machines, too ?

And will it be chargeable or free ?

Thanks

Richard

Hi Brian, this might be the reason : From the homepage / downloads / show changes V5.1.13 Changed: Knife and V carve plugins are now chargeable and from the purchase menu : V carving module For engraving with a V cutter Receive a £4 discount if you purchase this with SheetCam £30.00 Richard

Try setting a breakpoint as Les describes here :

Hi Striplar,

did you try from the menu :

Options > Machine > Post processor and there click Post documentation ?

Richard

Since a point has actually no dimension it might help if you replace the points with tiny circles and import the drawing again.

Hi Les,

trying to open an old job created before 5.1.9 crashes SC if the option Copy the missing or different tools and rules from the job file is selected.

Selecting Use only the default tool set (some operations may not work) lets me open the file.

Please have a look

The 20 digit problem is the result of the pp converting large x/y coordinates to degrees.
I askes Les about this and here is his answer:

It sounds like your rotary axis is turning the wrong way.

As I mentioned in my post above with the red bold characters

Ok , thinking about this I'd say it makes no sense to convert the tool change moves from linear to rotary values. So everybody who needs rotary moves and tool change in one program must add those moves to the tool change point manual or as code snippets with SC after converting the plane code to rot...

Hi Les, the 20 digits jacala shows in this thread : http://www.forum.sheetcam.com/viewtopic.php?t=5604&highlight=plasma when he uses the rotary post having a negative value I described in this thread has to do with the tool change position. As soon as you uncheck ' No move to safe Z after tool c...

I'm a milling man not a plasma guy but reading the Mach 3 plasma post I found the two functions : function OnPenDown() if (preheat > 0.001) then post.ModalText (" G00") post.ModalNumber (" Z", cutHeight * scale, "0.0000") post.Text ("\n G04 P") post.Number (pr...

Hi Guus,

Looks like the PP doesn't like calculations with negative numbers. Please remove in the PP in the following functions the red bold characters . This will result in positive A-values and you might mirror the rotational direction of the A-axis in Mach3 Hope this helps Richard function OnRapid() radius...
