Beginner Plasmac Questions

Oh great! Do lead-ins or lead-outs from sheetcam, or cam, interfere with plasmac autodetecting holes.

They shouldn't.

Shouldn't do.

Does the " Manual Single Cut " use THC?

Also, the manual for my machine specifies Edge Start rather than piercing after a certain thickness. To accomplish this I assume I'm going to have to Disable ArcOk, right?
Finally, if I disable ArcOk per above, will it ever automatically be reenabled? Like when I load a new gcode, reset the machine, or maybe after each cut?

It would, provided you had THC enabled and it reached the velocity of the currently selected material

Code:

M63 P1 or M65 P1 (disable Ignore Arc OK)

Yes, unless you can precisely align the edge of the material under the torch

If you disable it in G-Code then you should re-enable it at the end of the G-Code. Loading new G-Code would reset it if you had that in your preamble. Resetting the machine will re-enable it.
The other option would be to use the checkbutton on the GUI, you could check it prior to a cut requiring it then uncheck it when you don't require it.

If it is only at the edge, a work around is to put a bit of dummy metal at the edge and start the cut there.
