well after talking with lincoln, its not exactly that simple. i think ill be getting a new dongle but i am still in the process of finding a good alternative.

sometimes it comes up as cadlink sometimes it doesnt come up at all. but even when it does come up, i cannot save or it errors out and boots me. nothing has been changed with the files. it was working fine and then the dongle stopped registering. and theres no point in copying files off the...

well ya know..... start in a hole and end up flush, at least thats how my boss works lol

ya i need a program for designing too. im gonna try out bobcad. yes replacing the dongle would be easier but the funds arent there to replace it and even at that i cannot risk this kind of thing happening again. i am anal about taking care of it because i understand its value and it still...

can you draw parts in sheet cam or is that just to convert to g code?

i need an alternative to torchmate cad cam. having dongle issues in the middle of a job that could potentially sink the company. cannot handle this kind of screw up. anyone have a suggestion?

oh ya sorry its a hypertherm 65. my cups are different sizes. the 45a is quite a bit shorter than the 65a. i need to know what shield i should be using for the 45a cup. all the shields i have are for 65+ and the guys at the welding supply shop dont have a clue how to help me.

below i have a dilemma. my 65a tips sit nice and close to the material to keep my kerf nice. my 45a tips are recessed and end up giving me the same kerf as my 65a. does anyone have the part number for the style cup i need for the 45a tips?

Thx Dnmeister. ya i was checking for continuity between things and found i had connection all the way to the cap. i saw the dent when i was cleaning stuff but i didnt think to correlate the two things.

got it. for everyone elses trouble shooting..... someone in the shop dragged an air hose over the table and it knocked the torch head off the gantry at the break aways. When the torch head fell off it landed on the clip that touches the ohmic cap. causing a dent in the ohmic cap right where the...

everything was fine yesterday. wasnt getting ohmic reading today so tried just setting heights and the torch buried itsself (for some reason the sample voltage shot down to 120 and it buried) so for the sake of time i just went back to ohmic sensing. still nothing. cleaned all the consumables...

NVM i found the g code play button. dont know how to delete a post though :/

I Operate my table remotely. the person i have at the table isnt very literate on the machine itsself. Is there some sort of "mock up" vmd so i can see that the process is correct before i send it?

it says something about a 120° lines. shows pic of a someone lining up ceiling tiles with it. i totally get what you mean and am kinda worried about it now lol. but f its being accurately used like it is in the pic it shouldnt have any problem shooting 8" on my table..... right?

ya there is some laser stuff too. but you can clearly tell the difference between the plasma cuts and the laser cuts. these guys are getting really nice plasma cuts. i get having a little bit of bevel but imo i have more than the tolerance should be.
