Re: torch wont fire
Under the "Machine" tag, do you have "Auto cut control" selected? You may have accidentally turned it off...

Re: torch wont fire
Make sure the inlet air pressure to the cutter isn't dropping. IF a Hypertherm, this is a soft error that will reset itself by the time you are pressing test there may be sufficient air.
If you have height control, make sure you have wait for signal checked on the machine control page so that if there is a torch misfire or other problem, it will stop and not just go through the motions and miss the cut.
