    I’m at a loss as to why when ever I generate code and send it to my machine and press go it drives the torch into the sheet. I’ve watched and followed plenty of tutorial but I’m at a loss as to why. I’m sure it’s something simple but it’s beyond me

    cheers

    Please use the openbuilds postprocessor docs:software:fusion360 [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    and, from the code (dunno what postprocessor you used) it is doing a probe command to find the sheet, so it is expecting to make a probe connection when it touches the sheet.
