just got my new 5x10 plasma table. love it so far. I am use to using a industrial table. the programs are so much easier to use.
sheetcam sucks to use , I can use it just take so long to prep a part to cut. I use Autocad 17LT to make the dxf , have for years. I dont know what the cam programs are in the table at work . its old... 13x 25 water table. but im sure Ill get use to it.
Well thanks for adding me to the group ,

Welcome. I think SheetCam works pretty well. Once you have your tools set up it shouldn't take much to import a drawing, nest it, apply the correct operations and post process. What are you having issues with?

Let the fun begin your ready

If SheetCam is still having a problem you may see if you can hook up to the internet and have it update to be sure you have a good load.
Or do a download to a USB stick and reload on the shop PC, make sure you have the License.camlic copied so you don't lose it.
