What size cutting table, servo or stepper motor drives, does it need CAM conversion to G and M code, high definition, or air plasma cutting are just a few of the difficult decisions when choosing a cnc plasma.

Does anyone know of a program similar to SheetCam that will cut the inside of a letter first and then the outside I know DeskCNC will but thats too much money.

Then you can use ACE, or Mach3 to set the layer machining order during the conversion.

You wont find a better CAM program for the money than SheetCAM.

You can use SheetCam itself to put the insides of letters (usualy) on different layers.

You can also copy items to new layers so you have two of the same object, do the inside of one layer, then come back and do the outside of the other layer.

Thanks. I know SheetCam will do the toolpath cutting like I want but for some reason its not showing my DXF files on my other XP machine.

It works fine on this one but not the other one with the same version and the same DXF files.

So for now I just wanted to know what else was out there for setting the toolpaths in the correct order for letters.
