I know nothing about your G7 fast cut console. But, when you say new SheetCam, is it a first time installation or you upgraded your PC and need to reinstall? If you were running SheetCam previously then you can SAVE TOOLSET AS under FILE on your old computer and then use a thumbdrive to transfer to the new PC and OPEN TOOLSET.

If you never had a previous version installed then I think you either need to create a new toolset from scratch or copy from someone else. I have attached my saved version, I use it on my Langmuir table with a PrimeWeld CUT60 cutter. I don't know if this will help you get started but here it is, just unzip the attached file and use FILE, OPEN TOOLSET in SheetCam.

The quick answer is go to TOOLS, NEW JET CUTTING TOOLS and create one. Here are the details of one that I use.

Are you running on the windows version? I believe that it only has them for Windows, not Linux
