Welcome Jason! You're not alone, many of us including myself struggled with what should have been a simple task at first. It will all come together with time. What design software are you working with?

Hi Jason,

What table, and what SOFTWARE are you using? It sounds like you are using a PlasmaCam table and DesignEdge software. Am I correct?

Where are you LOCATED? I like to help people in person, whenever possible.

If you are using DesignEdge, note that I offer FREE online training for that software via ZOOM online meetings. Send your contact info to me via a PM, and I will get together with you to help you get up to speed.

If you are using some other software program, I will not be of much help to you.

Joe

I am using designedge with a gotorch z-2 table that I just upgraded the design software and purchased a second seat...

Which upgrade did you purchase? Only BASIC DesignEdge software, or did you also get the Advanced Design Upgrade, the Advanced Machine Control Upgrade, or the Advanced Height Control Upgrade? I know .. Money does not grow on trees! However, these three upgrades, called "The Big Three" will give you a very capable machine.
