Plasmac Post Processors

IInteresting—I used the Fusion360 post processor from the first page of this thread (forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...t-processors?start=0). After rereading the PDF, it doesn’t explicitly say so, but I think I need to create separate 2D profiles for each feature I’m cutting. Since the post processor doesn’t generate Z movements, would that mean making individual profiles for all 12+ holes plus the part outline? and i assume plasmaC will control Z when it goes to probe for each cut?  I also tried Inkscape (which I like), but it skips certain splines and rounded corners in my parts. Redesigning everything just to fit Inkscape’s gcode output would be counterproductive.

Thank you so much Tommylight for your reply, i greatly appreciate your help!

Hi,
I am using Fuson 360 and QtPlasmaC. 
I am having the start radius - end radius errors that I see others have but don't know or understand the remedy. As far as I know I am using the second PP on the list below as when I go to import it, is says it already exists and do I want to cancel or replace. 
Clicking of the first link to QtPlacmac PP does not take we to a file for downloading. Is this PP somewhere and the link needs correcting?

Can someone help with a PP. or with instructions for a dummy on how to not get the errors
Kind regards  Trevor

This thread is for user donated post processors for CAM software that has no native post processer for QtPlasmaC/PlasmaC.
I will make this sticky and unlocked and just keep current versions here.
If there are posted comments or corrections I will delete them after they have been actioned.

Current PP's:

• Fusion360 - QtPlasmaC
• Fusion360 - PlasmaC (AXIS & GMOCCAPY)
• ProNest 2019
• SOLIDWORKS (CAMWorks)
• Inkscape
• PeddiNest

There are no third party PP's here for SheetCam, use the PlasmaC PP included with SheetCam for both QtPlasmaC and Plasmac.

PP creators need to be aware of the following:

• LinuxCNC does not allows analog/digital input or output while cutter compensation (G41) is active.
• QtPlasmaC disables G92 offsets.
