I think I know what he means. With the foam, the cutting tool plunges into the material on the line that we want to cut. With a plasma cutter you can't do it because the plunge hole, or entry hole is big, like three to four time the size of the normal cut-line. He needs to start his cut outside the part and work into the part.
marcomartim, no se porque tienes un problema con eso, solamente tienes que cambiar el g-code asi.

I hope that that is what he is asking for.
Also, I don't speak Portuguese, only Spanish, but they are close enough to understand.

 

Hello TigerPilot
I understand perfectly
It is exactly what I do when the code is small.
The problem occurs when the cut is more complex and with many parts.
It is impractical and difficult to browse the Gcode and find all the fixes.

I believe that the development of Phlatscript will be one of the best tools for editing G code for various types of machines.
Its simplicity of use combined with the ease of Sketchup, I think so a double perfect.

Thank you for your attention and congratulations for the forum.

Olá TigerPilot
Entendi perfeitamente
É exatamente isso que eu faço quando o código é pequeno.
O problema ocorre quando o corte fica mais complexo e com muitas peças.
Fica inviável e difícil percorrer o código G e procurar todas as correções.

Creio que a evolução do Phlatscript venha a ser uma das melhores ferramentas para edição de codigo G para vários tipos de máquinas.
Sua simplicidade de uso aliada com a facilidade do Sketchup, em minha opinião forma uma dupla perfeita.

Obrigado pela atenção e parabéns pelo fórum.

 

gasmasher,

This is very, very cool. Thanks to all the programmers for putting a great deal of work and time into this. As someone who has done a lot of programming, none with ruby though, I know what you've put into this. Good Job!

Do you have an idea of when this new version will be released?

I'm working with a Gerber Sabre 408 and using this script. I'm currently needing the G2/G3 support you mention in the features area. I need to run the arcs ccw instead of cw as they do now. I'd be willing to beta test this too if you are willing.

Thanks,

Jerry

 

There are currently a few guys testing right now and they have found a couple of problems over the weekend. I'm guessing that the release is still a few weeks away but less than a month.
