While the VMD has some nice features, there are also some that are not so nice. The parts library is a good example of that. They advertise how quick and easy it is to use it, but you will need to manually go into the G-code to add a feedrate. ( especially when using the array function ) Some of...

I agree 100%. For instance, when you create a part on the VMD, you need to go into the G code and add a feedrate, otherwise if you pause the machine during cutting, it loses it's mind, and forgets what it is doing. I found this problem back in 2019 and made Tech Support "aware" of the problem...

When cutting thicker materials I would like to eliminate as many pierces as possible. How do you program continuous cutting with Torchmate CAD V9 Lite ? The only information I found online is for Torchmate CAD 8. ( page 100 ) I can get everything to work, but when I "output" the code it...

I spoke with tech support, and I was told that the cut variables that are automatically loaded, are stored in an encrypted file and cannot be modified. Seems very foolish on Torchmate's part to have cut variables that automatically loaded, that are known to be wrong and need to be modified...

I have a 2020 Torchmate 4800. When you enter the material and plate thickness in VMD, it will automatically load the production cut parameters. ( production volts, cut speed, pierce height, cut height, etc. ) I can manually change these variables at the machine, but I would like the VMD...
