Having to manually edit gcode to turn plasma on/off

[MetalGardenGarage]

Have everything set up and working but am having a problem triggering the plasma on and off.

Using a CNC Router parts table
Sheetcam software pair with mach3

i have the plasma wired into the router box where the router on and off would go. If i generate a GCode and go in manually to edit and add M3 to turn plasma on during the Z axis downward, and M5 to turn off when it comes up, im good. This is kind of a hassle. Is there a way around this? Does sheetcam have an option to enter this information for me? I'm still fairly new at this, thanks for you help.

Sounds like you might be using the wrong post processor for your machine.
Try the MP1000 post and it should help with your problems.

I would also post on the SC section here on plasmaspider.

Good luck
