Is there a way to ripcut /straight cut for making quick straight cuts or cutting off remnants etc?
On the other machine I run you define the start start and end point, I think it also allows you to define intermediate points and hit cut. Since the material cut info comes from the plasma workspace in JetCad3, you might need to add the option for what material you are cutting.
Thanks, Matt—I’m really glad FreeCut is working the way you hoped.
Good catch on that Z move. We traced it to FreeCut using the normal after-cut retract before traveling back to Start. If Z is already above that return height, it can move downward first. We’ve planned a fix so it can only hold position or retract upward before any XY travel; if JC3 can’t prove the move is safe, it won’t run.
And yes—we’re adding a FreeCut pendant layer like PointTrace, including Capture Start/Next, the useful edit and placement actions, and FreeCut Run/Resume. Stop, Hold, and Abort will remain available as safety controls.
We’ll have this fixed up in the next release.
