Hello, its been a while since we bought plasma cutting machine and all we had to do were simple parts, like circles and squares, nothing much to deal with and it was working fine.
But some days ago we decided to cut something interesting, much more detailed parts and suddenly i had a lot of problems at once.
1.Pronest takes ages to import complex .dxf files, it freezes for like minutes and more. And i'm pretty sure its not about my pc, since its fairly good to play all the last released games, so why not good enough to handle one simple program?
2.It takes even more time after i press "Import G-code" button, i had just 3 figures on a job and i had to leave it for the whole night(not sure when actually it loaded, but took more than 20 minutes to go).
3.After i got my g-code at last its not working properly in mach3 ! After i load it there is no toolpath, but that's not the main problem, the main problem is how bad its working , after i cycle start it in mach3 plasma cutter trembles a lot every time it have to cut not a straight line, not sure how can i explain that and in addition to this cutting "flame" turns off and on frequently , although there are no m3/m5 commands.
I usually use autocad 2013 to create a drawing and import it in .dxf 2000 format, but this time i took ready .dxf files from another site and just corrected them a bit.
Attaching a file with:
1. model i downloaded - fa1-4-Angle Horse.dxf
2.What did i have after correcting it - hors2ie.dxf
3.And what did i have after loading it into Pronest 8 and importing G-code - G-code.cnc
Hope you guys can tell me what am i doing wrong, thank you so much for your help.
