Edge start does not need any special features.
You can also do a pierce only cycle that lets you pierce with old consumables, clean the dross and cut the sheet.
There is a new moving pierce feature that you may find helpful.

thank you for the quick reply
I would like to ask if there is a possibility to ignite the arc on the edge of the sheet metal?
and the machine would continue to work

Yes it is, position the torch center on the edge of material, press F9, wait for arc to transfer and cut to go through, click RUN. Be wary that the machine speed must be set to cut speed when doing this, otherwise machine will just rapid over material ... but this is fun to watch with all the sparksI would like to ask if there is a possibility to ignite the arc on the edge of the sheet metal?

I'll try it and let you know how it works
qt plasmac is an excellent software, I've been using it for the second year and I'm still familiar with new functions, I use a camera - scanything, I also have a remote control, that's also great
I would like to contribute to the operation with some small financial amount, I just don't know where? or to whom?

F9 doesn't work
the only way I was able to do it is to press start immediately, then pause and use the arrows to jog to the edge of the plate and start again
