    How to cut longer sheet with Plasmacam

    Can anyone advice me on how to cut sheets that are longer than 4ft with Plasmacam. I have never done this with my machine before. Please help.

    You will find a setting under Drawing View for "Cutting area". Click and select "4x8".
    You will have two 4x4 table outlines stacked. They are the same table.
    Open your Closed Path drawing and place the main part of the drawing on the lower 4x4 area and let the remainder of the drawing overlap onto the top 4x4 area.
    Select "Convert to cut path" and click on the drawing. You will get a prompt that asks "Automatically convert path to be cut in separate sections?". Click Yes.

    Cut the lower section first. After it is cut, you will have to slide the metal forward (that is toward the control box or what would be "down" on the screen) exactly 48". Select the upper portion and cut.
