Greetings.I hope someone can help me with the following problem:I am cutting a part with multiple holes using fusion 360 and Qtplasmac v1. 217. 128 what I understand is that the Fusion pp already performs the speed decrease for cutting holes but I realize when cutting the thc it does not lock and I see that the z axis moves when it should be locked. The hole diameter is 10mm

A few things...

1. It's relatively impossible for us to help you without seeing any G-Code. I suggest you post the file you are trying to cut.
2. Posting a backup of your config made from the parameters (or settings depending on GUI size) can also help greatly.
3. Your version of QtPlasmaC is a bit aged, it's from Nov 25, 2021, latest version is 1.222.168, so it might be worth considering an update as well.

I ran you gcode file in a sim config and it looks good. Hopefully we can find something in your config.

Did you notice it the ACTIVE LED was lit when cutting the holes? For me it was only lit when cutting the letters near the end which is correct.

Here I attach the configuration of the machine and a photo where you can see that the thc is activated at the time of cutting the holes.

I made a sim from this posted config and ran the gcode you posted earlier without any problem.

You are still on an old version, can you update and see if there is any change.

I cant get it to do it on a SIM either. 

I am curious, what locale are you using on your machine?

Greetings.Thanks for your help and advice, the problem was solved by upgrading to a new version of qtplasmac, thc is now blocked. Attached image of tests to see if you can help me improve the circles on the back or if it seems fine. Thanks.

Glad to hear it's fixed!

Your circles dont look consistent and round to me, so first and foremost, you need to make sure the following are correct to get round circles:

1. The X axis is square to the Y axis after homing
2. You need to check that for all axes that the commanded length = the length actually traveled with a dial indicator.

If you need an explanation of a process for either, don't hesitate to ask. 

From there you can go down a rabbit hole with lead ins and lead outs, etc. etc., there will be a lot of differing opinions here as to what is best, in the end you need to do testing with different settings and see what works to give you the best cut quality for that material thickness.
