I cant get it to work, But I want to try another program first,

How did you get your sheetcam to produce the correct code for the scribe? Could you share your post processor.

Can you send me the job file.

We may be looking at the tool stuff wrong. I don't really know enough about it.

It may well be that we need Tool #1 as the torch and Tool # 2 as the scribe.

You could try that by adding a Tool2, setting Tool1 offsets to zero and Tool2 offsets to suit the scribe then try the MDI code I sent before but use T1 and T2.

I think I will have a play around on my mill tomorrow.

Edit: It definitely won't run in Pierce Only mode ;)

Ill just show you this in case anyone can point out what is happening,

This is my torch at 0,0,


When I run the program it moves sightly to the scribe mark and the scribe works in the top right corner,

But when it goes to cut the holes the torch moves to this position which I would of though is a negative position ,


This is the sheetcam picture of the part,

Where does the text come from, is in the dxf file or is it done later by sheetcam.

When you have the torch at 0,0 where does it end up if you MDI a T1M6G43 then a G0X0.1Y0.1?

I got it to work,

I set the tool offset values to negative and change the torch to Tool 2 and the Scribe to Tool 1.

The text is from the DXF file I imported to sheetcam.
