sheetcam cutting rules HELP

Post by m79b01 »

I have the dev version of sheetcam and have some cutting rules setup. The post processer and all seems to work...but...my g-code output is putting the THC off on the same line as the next action.

Example:
N10 G00 X10
N20 S10 (THC OFF) Y20
N30 X11
ETC...

Not sure if this is an issue but it doesn't seem right. All input is appreciated.

I'm not that good reading code to be honest but there was a bug at one stage where if you had 'show rule names in g-code' ticked it put that info on the same line as dthc on/off which caused some bother, Les cured that with a update though.
