Ok so I was cutting some aluminum and my holes are .060 diamter, and my aluminums .060 thick. well cant really cut the holes right. And dunno why Hypertherm doesnt give any fine cut charts for aluminum, gonna see if I can fudge it in to use it and get a smaller kerf.
So I loaded my part into sheet cam and clicked use points for drilling when I loaded my drawing, it put X hairs on my smaller holes and actually showed cut start points... S1 S2 S3 S4 etc... But it doesnt show any green cut line even with leadins turned off for that.. Dunno if this is the problem I just though of is I didnt change outside/inside/on the line cut for the drill spots though.
,
But after running the post processor and loading into Mach it goes straight to cutting the outside.
I also tried doing a drill operation but it doest give options for pierce height or delay. I dont wanna pierce at the same height i wanna pierce closer to the cut height for .1 second just to get witness makrs and not blow the hole out.
I know its been awhile just working and other crap going on.
