Help with BobCAD V21 and code for plasma cutter

[brendanh]

Hi all . I am a newbie to BobCAD but not to CAD/CAM.

I have just installed V21 a few days ago. I am using the Burny 2.5 setup (from the supplied CD) from which I am trying to produce code for a plasma cutter.
I have the following 2 main problems that I hope someone can help me with :-

1. The macro for PROGRAM / START produces :-
%
10P1
20G70
30G91

I need to change the G70 (imperial) to G71 (metric). I have followed the
steps in the manual but cannot change the value.

2. I cannot seem to get the cut codes to be produced automatically (M04 and
M03). I have to enter them manually which is tedious on larger nests. What
am I missing ?.

Regards,
BrendanH

you need to edit post that you are using. You can call Bobcad support and they can do it remotely for you

Thanks Mike, but calling support from OZ is very expensive.

I have emailed their support people but no reply. Also their forums page is down.

I will try to find some resources for editing posts in the mean time.
