On the sheetcam screen it will show 47 start points, when I look at the job report it will show 68.
When the file cuts it will actually do the 68 pierces. when I look closely and zoom in I can see a line that will
not have a start point but will cause the torch to pierce at that point. I cannot see anything in corel draw.
Very frustrating, any ideas on why this is happening?

Re: Job report shows more pierces
I have had this happen when a gap in a drawing is smaller than kerf width, so sheetcam will not run the tool through the gap. Instead, it creates another (non-numbered) pierce point, on the other side of the gap. It also will not allow me to modify the start point on this pierced area, either. In sheet cam, look for non-numbered pierce points, or gaps too small for your tool. You'll probably find your mystery pierce points.

If you have multiple tools set up for a cut Sheetcam only shows the pierce numbers for the tool selected!

Thanks, sometimes I can find them some times not.
