Update your LinuxCNC installation then run the PlasmaC Configurator in upgrade mode.

thanks, I have upgraded my installation and it is working very good

other question, I have an oxicut equipment attached to the same machine, any idea how to use the multi-tool feature (I don't need any automatic control) or how to disable the probe during the simulation

At this stage multi tool is only used to switch between plasma cutting, air scribe and plasma spotting. They use spindle numbers 0,1 & 2 respectively.

Currently here is no way to disable probing. If you comment out the M3 lines in GCode it will not probe but also it will not move to Pierce and Cut heights either, it will just run through all X/Y motion.

thank you Phillip great job !!
I have only one problem ... how do you clean up the unused shapes?
in practice return empty as at startup.

i read this I'm interested to know if it can be remedied or if I have to restart

Once a shape is added to the job it cannot be edited or removed.
Jobs cannot be edited, only added to.


best regards

Yes, it is limited in what it can do.

If you have an existing shape or job and want to create a new one, click New in the opening dialog, then create a new shape. When you Preview it the new shape will replace the old shape/job.

A preview of the new conversational screen.
It loads above the GUI screen and can be resized in the Settings panel.
It self updates if you use the enter key or change a checkbutton state and there are enough values to create the shape.
GCode can be saved directly with the Save button.

A bit more work to go...
