The DTHC control can be set to Automatic so it handles turning the DTHC ON/OFF using basic rules and options in the post (like the Minimum Cut Length for DTHC) Or defined cut rules in SheetCAM. It is controlled from screen buttons OR specail parameters from the G-Code. The new DTHCIV no longer uses the internal MACH THC so the button does not even exist for THC ON/OFF. The DCC posts also support using the expanded SheetCAM tool sets that load the DTHC presets (Electronic Cut Chart). You then have to use the code clips in SheetCAM to insert the macro in the G code. ![]() You cannot turn ON/OFF the MACH3 internal THC except with a MACH macro. You need to be running MACH3 3.43.066 or higher if you do not want a "twitch" in the motion for the DTHC on/off. Re: No DTHC options under path rules That option is hardware specific and provided in a custom SheetCAM post provided by the hardware provider. From that point forward you need to be running a plug-in for MACH (ccc_comm) that supports dynamic activation codes if you want it from the g-code. The DTHC II that has been shipping for over 3 years had DTHC ON/OFF added at firmware rev level 1.3. DTHC was first generation and did not have the DTHC ON/OFF option. There are three models of THC for the MP3000. ![]()
