I am having issues with my parts coming from fusion to scale right in Sheetcam. If I create the G Code in Fusion it will cut to the correct size from Mach 3. If I import the part in to Sheetcam it either comes in way to big (inches box) or way to small (MM box) Any ideas?
I am wondering can you lead me to a tutorial on nesting say for example 6 different dxf. files on one sheet in sheet cam? I can import them all and nest them but then I canāt apply any operations after I move the unaltered DXF. files around on the sheet ā¦ Pretty slow and inefficient to do but I been cutting one at a time when i have multiple different files
Wondering if you are switching back out of ānesting modeā and into āedit contoursā after making your movesā¦? Just a quick thought in the middle of the nightā¦
Arc Lights tutorial on nesting it pretty good. Easy Google search will find it.
One thing though, you canāt apply operations to nested objects. You can only apply operations to the original object from which the nest is generated. The tutorial explains why and how to get around it.
So if your on the fence with the $140 sheet am vs free fusion, here is an example that might help you make a decision. Fusion totally choked on this one and I spent hours trying to select contours. Imported and cut via sheetcam in min. This file easily paid for itself in my time savings.
Gave up on fusion a while ago sheetcam is easy !!! Spent a couple of hours learning the ins and outsā¦
$140 for my sanity over fusion cam!!! Well Worth it!!!
questionā¦ running the razorweld and fire control what is the post processor that we need to select in Sheetcam? I cant find anything in there list in regards to razorweld, fire control or anything.
Thanks

You must toggle both IHS and THC post settings to āNoā.

You must set both Pierce Height and Cut Height to 0 in the Jet Tool Menu. Im a guessing the latest sheetcam post processor
Hey Jim - itās entirely possible that Iām entirely misreading your reply, but Iām unable to find any of the post-processors that you seem to be recommending.
The Crossfire Pro does not use Mach3, if I understand correctly, and Iām unable to find any of the others on the rather lengthy list.
I couldnāt get @jimtās links to go anywhere. Not sure how he embedded them or if itās my machine. I remember the first time I setup my original Crossfire I had to wander around the website - it was like they werenāt where I thought they should be. Found them and saved the favorite.
