I was playing around with the demo, and nice program very easy to use. I like how you can drag your tool pathed part anywhere on you machinable are on the screen.

I too have been playing with the demo a little bit. The one thing I did notice is the drilling, it doesnt use a canned cycle rather it uses G1 and G0 moves. Other than that, I seem to like what I see. I havent ran any code I have made or anything yet, but maybe soon.

I noticed that too, but it's post processor is for mach 2.

Aha, I see there is now a sheetcam forum here.
I have had a brief look at sheet cam, but havnt really followed through with trialing it.
I must give it a bash to see how well it works.
Hopefully Les, (Mr SheetCam) will look in on us from time to time and answer any questions we have.
I wonder if sheetcam can nest a big project over many sheets?
Being outside the square !!!
SheetCam can use canned drill cycles. I used G0,G1 moves in the post processors because they are compatible with just about any machine. If you want I can create a post that does use drill cycles.

Welcome, to the forum Les.
I really hope you find it confortable here.
It is an privelige to have you with us.
I expect over a short period of time we will all get to know more about your "Lowcost Cam" program. ( SheetCam )

It would be nice if it could open Gerber files.

This is on the to-do list. It may take a while though because it is actually quite difficult to extract outline information from Gerbers.

Yes, that should work. If you find you have any special requirements for laser then let me know and I will see if I can add them.

I been using it for plasma, and it is fantastic. I was really ready to sell my Practical cnc table and get something that worked. Then Les wrote a processor for my WinCnc control, and I am not selling my table now. It works great!!!!!!
Les is the man to fix anything that needs to be fixed. Fast too!
