1. Is it possible to have gcode load the correct Cut Profile? For example, in sheetcam when I use the 1/4" steel tool for the kerf offset. Could it also call for the 1/4" steel Cut Profile in Acorn when the gcode is loaded?

This is currently on the Future feature list

2. If above is not possible, would it be possible to have Acorn have have a pop up to remember you to check the Cut Profile before cutting? When we are cutting multiple different materials through the day, sometimes one of the guys forget to change the Cut Profile and we damage a cutting tip.
Ive created a Video on How this can be done. Check it out here

3. Can the virtual jog panel and acron screens be locked together? So when I switch the screen back from sheet cam both the VJP and acorn are selected?
When opening Acorn Plasma from the Windows task bar. Select the VCP first and then click the VCP to bring up CNC12

4. Can it be enabled to jog the X and Y axis at the same time with the keyboard?
Diagonal Keyboard jogging will be available in the software release 5.2

5. When loading a new cut file, some times the graph is blank or shows the previous part. The machine cuts correctly, just the graph display messes up.
Thank you for pointing this out. I will try to reproduce. IS there any situation when this can be reliably reproduced?

I am running CNC12 v5.10
Thanks
