External control of SheetCAM from Visual Basic / VBA
Hi James, It works for me. When I load sequencetest3.job I get two tools and two processes. What happens when you load the job? Les jemmyell wrote: Here is the ZIP file again. It has the original file, and one that I stripped the binary data out of again. It still will not load, and I looked at it w...

External control of SheetCAM from Visual Basic / VBA
Hi James, There should be nothing at all after the tag, not even a newline. If you still have problems I'll upload a sample in the morning. This computer is running Linux and won't let me save a file with DOS line ends. Les Hi Les, There is an unmodified .JOB file in that ZIP file I posted. Could yo...

External control of SheetCAM from Visual Basic / VBA
Hi James, You need the [BinaryDataStart] tag at the end of your file. Without that tag, SheetCam assumes the file is corrupted and ignores it.

plasma cutting thc, arc good signal
Posts are written in the Lua macro programming language <www.lua.org>.
They have a manual but it is quite hard work to read. If you look in
c:\program files\sheetcam\posts there is a rtf document that describes
the SheetCam extensions to Lua.

Hi Bene, This is all done in the post processor. I have attached a post that should hopefully do what you want. Note that I have made the S word modal so it only appears when the height changes. Another question: How is a flameout condition usually handled It depends on the controller. With some you...

DXF import problem for POINT entities
Hi James, The file with points at the start is incorrect. There is no layer information for the points so SheetCam does not know where to put them. This file actually has a good chance of crashing SheetCam so I will change the next release to default to the first layer if layer information is missin...

Defining relationship of Job, Part, Drawing and Toolset
That is a good point. I don't think it is laid out anywhere. A part contains one drawing and one or more processes. A job contains one toolset, one material definition and one or more parts and duplicated parts. Duplicates are simply a step and repeat of the part. I hope that makes some sort of sens...

Autocad Inventor R6 DXF export problem
Hi Richard, It sounds like an issue with your cad package. Have you scaled the circles? If they have been scaled or stretched it is possible your cad package now thinks they are ellipses. Some cad packages break ellipses into short line segments when exporting them. Les. Hi Guys, Nice to have a foru...

No Debug window, no scLoadDrawing
Hi James, You can shut down SheetCam by using the menu functions to call the file->exit menu. Sorry I haven't got round to sorting out the extra parameters. I have been away from the office a lot recently. Les Any news on the extra params for scLoadDrawing and the new function to let me shut down Sh...

No Debug window, no scLoadDrawing
Hi James, Ok, fixing the enum for the DXF filetype did the trick for scLoadDrawing. Also IF SheetCam is mamimized, the debug window is BEHIND the main window and cannot be found since it isn't in the ALT-TAB window switch order! :D Yes - that would happen. I run two monitors and SheetCam usually run...
