No Code Option in Path Rules

Post by Eric - Plasma »

I have built my own 4'x4" table using CandCNC BladeRunner Dragon Cut 620-4 EtherCut + DTHCIV.
Still in the teething stages but decided to play with the path rules in Sheetcam and I have run into a problem. There are no code options to insert?

Any ideas?

Your looking in the wrong place they are under Tools then cutting rules. name it what you want then
click on add rule then a menu will come up for you to create the rule you want.

Thanks for the help acourtjester. I tried to create a cutting rule under tools as you suggested but still do not have any options under start or end codes.
Also tired in the jet cutting operation window and have the same problem.

Eric, those start and end codes are normally listed at the end of the tool table

To see options in that drop down box you need to create a 'code snippet'
Mine is the parallel port version and I'm not sure if the code is different but I use:
M10P1 (torch off)
Powermax XP45
Home built table, Candcnc DTHC 2, Dragoncut 620-4
R-Tech 210 Tig, Jasic 250 mig
Sheetcam, Scanything, Coreldraw

Thanks guys! Didn't know there was suppose to be a list at the bottom of my tooltable for them.
Just tried making a "code snippet" and it solved my problem. Back in business :)
