Have you looked at Sheetcam. It is very good for flame and plasma and
will not break the bank at £110-00. It is a once of cost.

I think you just down load the free trial from
http://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview and start using. Mine
hasn't timed out or anything yet.

I don't know if it has be mentioned earlier, but qCAD and DXF2gCode can
be quite handy as in a free beer sense using Linux programs. In the

Actually I think Fusion could be good at both of those tasks. I can't say
about flame cutting because I don't have a flame cutter (other than a hand
held Victor torch) But Fusion has an easy to use "2D mode" for making cut
out parts and it can drive a lathe too. And mills and 3D printers.

It costs less than that for hobby and startup use. And I think that their
definition of "startup" is quite generous. (Less than $100,000 per year)

I changed my mind about this. The branch has now been merged into
master, so nml-over-tcp may be a working feature in
It really depends on what you want to do. A Cam package good for
flamecutting will likely be lousy for a lathe.
Draftsight is free and very easy to use. Do you need nesting?

Adding another thing, every question I have asked on the forums has been

Are there bugs? Yes. Ever used Alibre?

I also have been trying out Fusion 360. It has some drawbacks but at this
point I am willing to put up with them for the CAM package. Importing an
stl from Alibre works well enough. It puts out some decent G code in my
opinion, and the post processor is easy to modify(If you know any
javascript)
Thanks A lot for the response It works fine I had not thought it was
possible to enter a bash script in DISPLAY

Thanks A lot for your time.
As you I make the same experiment . in the same way but not try these..
One way might be to add a HAL file to the list that uses loadusr -W to

I think it is a working solution .
I have done a bit of experimenting.
It is easy to set halui as the display, then remove the line HALUI = halui.
You then get a LinuxCNC instance with no GUI. It is best to start it
from the command line, or else there is no tidy way to quit it.
The problem is that halui does not know to call a po
You can use any executable program for [DISPLAY]DISPLAY=
LinuxCNC will quit when the named program exits.
Example for a file named nogui.sh in config directory:
$ cat nogui.sh
#!/bin/bash
function bye () {
echo bye
exit 0
}
trap bye SIGTERM SIGHUP
tail -f /dev/null &

Is this exactly the same config files as before, or did you regenerate
the config?
lsmod might indicate whether lp has grabbed the port
Hi,
I updated the PC with 7i43 and 7i48 to Debian from old Ubuntu.

I try another solution if possible
I try to run halui interfaces with no gui and at same time loadusr my.comp
if i use axis gui all works fine but without gui my.comp or hali not works
with axis gui I put all in custom_postgui
whithout gui I try to put all or in my.hal or in custom.hal ... I try to use
