manually set pierce points?
I'm having trouble when converting a dxf that I've traced out to a pcm file....a lot of times it is placing the lead ins on the good side of the metal and I have no idea how to correct this. Can't seem to find my manual so can someone help me out here?

Well, I believe it is 3.11 but to be clear, I never design anything in PlasmaCam...I draw it out in Inkscape, save it to disc and then open it in the program, convert to cutpaths and cut. I have a feeling that I'm missing a step or two here LOL.

It has been a while since i have used 3.11 but if memory serves me there is no automatic leadin for best fit in the program
Are you automaticly converting when you import? You should be able to reprint your manual from the install disk
you could also try to pm george (http://www.plasmaspider.com/memberlist. ... ile&u=3726) he works for plasmacam support
