Problem with LinuxCNC PlasmaC

[acourtjester]

Today I wanted to create a new G-code to cut 2 small parts, odd problem. The post processor LinuxCNC PlasmaC will not work, I used it just yesterday. I can switch to LinuxCNC THC and that works ( cannot use it as I am using QTPlasamC GUI). This is the error I get when trying to do the post process. I am using the newest release 7.1.35 TNG Development. Google has older problems but nothing recent.

Its the POST code causing an error. Complaning about an OPERATION and tool . Its being generated by the POST function "DynamicCast" Not sure what htat function does but is unique to THAT POST. Its returning a string (or should be)

The trigger line is 219

Do not understand the Operationwithroundtool on a plasma cut?

Agreed this is what I found in the Post Processor, unknown why

I uninstalled and reinstalled SheetCam and it is now working like it should, I guess the post processor got corrupted somehow.

Awesome news Tom. Certainly would be nice to know what caused that though.
