    Was cutting some simple circles out today when the the machine just quit. Let me preface this by explaining the errors before it did. I had generated a circle in the shape library in VMD and when I selected it the Vmd software jus kept saying " determining job contents" and just stayed there. So i generated the same circle in TM cad , selected it, and it opened in VMD just like it was supposed to. Then I brought back the original file i gereated in VMD earlier and it work ok then...I cut out 4 of the circles the machine just quit. no control of motors or anything. Then I got on the phone with tech (Dennie) and he determined that a atx power supply went bad...so 105 bucks later I got one on the way to me....stay tuned to see if this fixes the problem...

    Until you figure it out in the mean time you can leave the Ok to Move cable disconnected from the Accumove box, and turn off Ok to Move in the VMD software, you will need to increase the Pierce Delay for the torch to dwell long enough to pierce the plate before moving in X and Y. To turn off Ok to Move it can be either under Tool Library or it could be under Machine Settings.
