Sheetcam TNG plunge safety clearance problem

[B Holmes]

I am using a CandCNC dragon cut DTHC 2/Mach3 system with ohmic plate sensing and using the MP1000-THC with engraver post. The plunge safety clearance default is 5mm or .1969". When I change the value in the plunge safety clearance box it does not change it in the code. Should I be using a different post processor? Changing the rapid clearance works as it should.

When you made the change did you save the change (save material)

Plunge Saftey clearance is the distance above the material where it starts to slow down to do a touch off . Not sure that old 2005 post supports it in the touch off sequence. the SheetCMA varaible has to pass to the post and it has to insert the number in the touch off sequence as the proper g28.1 homing at the reduced homing speed . The g28.1 has a Z parameter of where it moves to to start the homeing at the PSC vaue probably goes there .

Thanks Tom. Which post would you recommend I use?
Acourtjester. Yes I did save the material.

I downloaded the( DTHC-HYT-TAP_SoftPierce+Marker ) post from the CandCNC website and it works.
