Get mach3 to turn off thc from sheetcam

[dixonsweden]

Hello there.
I have mach3, sheetcM and a thc 301d.
In the cutting rules in sheetcam you should be able go turn off the thc by editing a cuttingrule.
Exactly like the fellow in the video does. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gsNhcWF2lE

The problem is. In my thc folder i have these codes that i supose Schould do it.
M6end.m1s
M6start.m1s

But when i do like he does i cant make it work.
Can anyone please help me with this. It should be great to be able to do it when having parts with small holes.

Cheers nicklas

HI NIcklas
Different THC work under different rule commands and how they are setup in Sheetcam. I had a Proma and to use path rules to control like the video shows a code snippet was needed to signal Mach to control the torch speed movement. I think the code as an M999 or M998 for speed changes under the path rules. I now have a DTHC-IV and it uses s10 and s20 THC on/off and other controls in path rules. These are not torch on/off commands but changes in speed for corners or small circles ECT. you may need to create a code snippet for your THC using M6end.m1s and M6start.m1s and install it into sheetcam.
