My guess would be that the software is somewhat proprietary to the PlasmaCam and that off-the-shelf software may not work too well, if at all. That's just a guess, though; I don't own a PlasmaCam and don't really know anything much about them. We do, however, have a very long-running thread about PlasmaCams here on ArtMetal and that one thread has generated more traffic than any other twenty threads put together, so I'm sure you'll get some feedback here. It may take several days, but I have no doubt it will come.

There are a number of specific forums on the 'net for PlasmaCam owners and others with CAD/CAM setups, so there may be information there as well.

You could also just call PlasmaCam and ask George what he recommends. One advantage of doing that is that sooner or later you're going to need maintenance or repair parts for the thing and it doesn't hurt to get to know the source.

I called Plasmacam today they say they can send me a replacment disc for the unit I will wait and see what's on it
