Hi Everyone
I'm at the stage now where I;m wanting to draw my own parts to be cut on my plasma table.
I've tried a number of drawing\cad packages and so far not found one to stick to, but I can get my shapes done in all of them.

However, having drawn my shapes I've noticed there are no run ins and run outs for the plasma path.
do you add these manually? or at gcode conversion time?

Can you tell me what software you plasma people are using to draw your parts and add\include the run ins and outs for the plasma? . ...and convert to gcode?

Much appreciated

Danny
