Layer 0 is the default layer that my imported drawings drop to.
At the very top of the white column on the left it should show you layers and the one you are working in will (should ) be check marked in the box.
if you cant see is you may have to turn the viewing on for layers here.
I can see this, the box has a check mark in it and says zero. If I import the drawing and uncheck this box the drawing turns white. But I still get a 0 in the layer in jet cutting tool
The layer name is not important. Itâs whatever name was assigned by the drawing program. If you click on the drop down layer menu and there is only one name in there, thatâs the right one.
If there is more than one layer name, selecting one of them will turn that layer white.
I suggest turning that layer viewing box off. Itâs not important and seems to be causing confusion.
Most drawings are only going to be one layer anyway.
The important place to select the layer is in the jet cutting operation.
ok i got to the 40 second mark on the video. your showing green with cutlines. I am showing green without cutlines
Also i have a warning sign outside offset, 0, t3:40 amp cut
open paths were not offset
Open paths are not supposed to be offset, in most cases. That warning is just a notification and wonât prevent you from cutting.
What makes you think the green lines arenât cut paths?
After you hit ok on the jet cutting operation screen, they will turn green( if you have the âshow cut pathsâ option turned on).
It doesnât create a cut file until you hit the post process button.
what makes me think the green lines are not cut paths is because it shows no cut path s1 going to s2 and so on. also when Ii hit post process nothing comes up. in the video after selecting post process it sends you to save it on on a file.
Post a picture of your Sheetcam screen with the green lines. I went to see what options you have turned on in the top toolbar.
Turn on the two buttons that the red arrows are pointing to. Those will show you the rapids and the start points.
OK awesome I feel like I am making some progress now. When I click the simulation button it does not simulate. It says the feed rate is to slow. How do I correct this? I click on the feed rate but cannot change it in simulation mode.
Feed rate is set in your tool.
If you have a feed rate in your tool and still get that error, you may not have created the operation properly.
Post a pic of the jet cutting operation page.
That looks OK. I donât know why the simulation wonât run.
Do you have a post processor selected in the âmachine optionsâ menu? I think it should be the âMach3 plasma no Zâ post processor.
Yes. I think you need the one that says âno Zâ, but that isnât why the simulation isnât working.
Not sure what you mean by that sir. Do you think I will get this going before Christmas? I would Like to make a few presents. If not it is all good as long as I learn. Also I would like to Thank You for all you have helped me with. I have learned and am willing to learn more. So Thank You.
Not sure if you know how to search the history of the forum but guessing youâre not the first with this issue.
Just type in a keyword
