Using a pen plotter with avid sheetcam

[JeepGuy]

I got my pen plotter but in my version of sheetcam i only have plasma or drilling operations, anyone know how to get one i can use the pen plotter with?

I use my pen with a plasma operation. Just make a new tool. I think it's a marker tool. Then set the operation to have no leads and no offset.
I think you can also use it as a rotary tool with a very small diameter.
You can turn on the rotary operations in the options menu.

Yes you use a rotary tool in SheetCam no pierce or cut start needed only z movement to touch the paper surface and down about 0.10" and zero out the Z dro then run your g-code.
I sent you a DOC from the Google drive for you to download, it shows the setup steps.

Have fun
