PlasmaC Just using pierce for circle centre
I ran your gcode on my test setup and it worked correctly using both the cut-mode button and using #<pierce-only> at the top of the code.
I then created a sim using your config and again it worked correctly both ways.
I just recalled that your file extension is .tap and I had renamed the file to .ngc so I renamed it back to .tap and it failed.
You have two options, one is to only use .ngc as the extension for gcode files, the other is to edit plasma_machine.ini and change:
[FILTER]
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc remove z axis stuff
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
to:
[FILTER]
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc remove z axis stuff
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
tap = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py

[FILTER]
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc (filter gcode files)
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
nc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
tap = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
Edit: fixed the path to the file...

I think I'll go with both options, altering the Plasma_machine.ini will catch any other times it might happen if I ever use a different Cam package or someone else's G-code.!

PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc (filter gcode files)
to:
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc,.nc,.tap (filter gcode files)
then files with those extensions will appear in the open dialog

It is interesting, as the default for new config "should" be:
[FILTER] PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc (filter gcode files) ngc = ./plasmac_gcode.py nc = ./plasmac_gcode.py tap = ./plasmac_gcode.py
So we just add the above in the ini file (will it get over written with update ?)
Phil good news. All I did was change the file extension to .ngc and it worked.
So there were two issues. one being the version of sheetcam to be the Dev version and the file name ending.
txt = ./plasmac_gcode.py #### could this be added as well

Yes, but it would be better if you change it like hereSo we just add the above in the ini file
No(will it get over written with update ?)
GreatPhil good news. All I did was change the file extension to .ngc and it worked.
You could, I am not sure if there is a limit on the extensions. The file of course must be in gcode format.txt = ./plasmac_gcode.py #### could this be added as well

Phill
[FILTER]
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc remove z axis stuff
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
nc = ./plasmac_gcode.py
tap = ./plasmac_gcode.py
Have I got this correct as it throws an error I also tried it with ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
on each line
Also where would this go
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc,.nc,.tap (filter gcode files)

This is how I ran it on a sim of Deans config:
[FILTER]
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc,.tap,.nc
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
nc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
tap = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py

Sorry Clive, my bad.
This is how I ran it on a sim of Deans config:
[FILTER] PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc,.tap,.nc ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py nc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py tap = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
What am I missing
[FILTER]
##PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc remove z axis stuff
##ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc,.tap,.nc
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
nc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
tap = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
I get this error
[FILTER]
##PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc remove z axis stuff
##ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
PROGRAM_EXTENSION = .ngc,.tap,.nc
ngc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
nc = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
tap = ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py
