				There are no
N75 M3 $0 S1
in the gcode after the first piece, and no M5 at the end of the cut except for the first cut.
Those must be added by the post processor.

				IInteresting—I used the Fusion360 post processor from the first page of this thread (forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...t-processors?start=0). After rereading the PDF, it doesn’t explicitly say so, but I think I need to create separate 2D profiles for each feature I’m cutting. Since the post processor doesn’t generate Z movements, would that mean making individual profiles for all 12+ holes plus the part outline? and i assume plasmaC will control Z when it goes to probe for each cut?  I also tried Inkscape (which I like), but it skips certain splines and rounded corners in my parts. Redesigning everything just to fit Inkscape’s gcode output would be counterproductive.
Thank you so much Tommylight for your reply, i greatly appreciate your help!

				Sorry i can not help with Fusion, i use strictly Inkscape for all plasma machines, just use "prepare for plasma" and then export with the tool chosen as plasma.
