lead ins

i dont know if this will help but on my mach/lazycam if the file has breaks or overlaps it will lose its mind and do very similar problems

I've been using sheetcam with my cnc plasma for about one year now as well as with one of my cnc routers. I love it!! In sheet cam if my
torch drags between cuts it's because I didn't set the rapid clearance setting in the material settings menu. It's simple and very effective.

your thread might be the first clue to what we're doing wrong,maybe we're setting the rapid clearance wrong as we are getting torch drags between cuts---thanks very much now we have something new to try out

There was something wrong with the file, i took that dxf and ran it in Corel Draw3x and fixed it enough to run in sheetcam... according to what i seen the problem was in the mane part of the horse and the 2 rear hooves were to close to gether for my kerf setting so i separated them slightly..
see if you can load this one into sheetcam

Also in sheetcam, it will automatically add the lead in/outs to the drawing, you can manipulate them with the different options provided in the program like length and styles, from the photos it looks as if your torch is not shutting off during rapid moves. I forgot to mention last post that there was a box around and attached to the horse ( according to my CAD program ) so the entire horse was a inside cut and the box would have been the final outside cut. Once you get used to sheetcam you will be able to see any problems with the drawing rite away and be able to go back and fix it. Corel draw3x or 4x is a huge CAD program that took me a long time to get onto but once you figure out what you need and dont need it becomes a great tool to use IMO.

I just took your took your .dxf file and ran it the way it is in sheetcam, if its the same file for the photo of the horse you cut, sheetcam doesnt show any inside cuts, only the outside.. BTW i use 0.05 for most of my cutting with fine cut consumables.
