Re: Hard Crash when using Laser Module
So I changed the kerf to .02 and the stepover to .02 and was able to get the results you see below. When I had the kerf at .0001 and the stepover at .02, it would generate a tool path but you couldn't see anything on the material. So I guess I had the kerf too thin? After I changed that it went back to work.

Yes Sir. It is working now like it did before. I appreciate your information. I wondered about those settings before because it didn't seem to change anything when I changed those setting so thank you for conforming that. The kerf had to be my problem for sure because once I changed that, I'm back in business. I can't thank y'all enough!

Re: Hard Crash when using Laser Module
So to sum up for anyone with similar issues in the future you basically had two problems. The first (the non-response) was from having a stepover of 0.002" in the toolpath calculations and the second, once you resolved that, was having the kerf far too thin also in the thousands of an inch.

Yes. I believe that is correct. I can’t thank you enough for your help. If the hang report sent to the help desk shows anything different I will make sure to update it here.
