I’m not sure why this is happening I’ve used this file before with the patterning feature and it worked. But as you can see from the photo the first piece cut then the rest almost cut except for the same spot on each. even when i went back an tried the cut from the line the machine fires but doesnt cut through in those spots. here’s the g file too. Any thoughts?

Is it the beginning of end of cut that is not cutting through. If beginning I would guess there is a delay between the signal to fire and when it actually usually does. On hypertherm the second pierce is always longer than the first. Not sure about your machine
Duty cycle on your plasma? Consumables? Is your compressor keeping up pressure drops? If that is the start of your cut you should be cutting clockwise on the outside cuts.
If that is the start of the cut then chances are there is some type of delay on the second pierce for some reason.
Have you cut a part with more than one pierce in the same gcode?
If not try making a small square with a hole in the center and cut it.
If you have the same issue on the perimeter of the square. Then there is a delay in the time fire control thinks the arc is started and when it really is on the second cut. Only way I know to fix this is to have a longer pierce delay on everything but the first cut. Not sure how to achieve this on a patterned part in fire control
