Lattice2 workbench fails and success

I decided to use Lattice2 to design two panels for a CNC controller box. The idea is to have bodies that represent different features (actually hole patterns) for connectors, switches etc. Then use Lattice2 to place these features on two panels. I'm using Fedora 39 so I can only use AppImage install...

Re: Path Helix - bug?

PR is there for long time. Is there anything else I should do to make it happen?

Re: Stop to change tools

If you are a beginner, I would suggest to create a separate job for each tool.
Load the tool and touch-off after changing a tool, before starting a job.

Otherwise, things really depend on your CNC hardware and controller.

Re: Path Helix - bug?

Please look at https://github.com/itain/FreeCAD.git branch path_helix_fix or see the attached file to see changes. Changes: Never use G0 below safe height, except retracting. Add option "Profile" to enforce only single helix. This is useful for large circular through holes. Since the hole ...

Re: Path Helix - bug?

You might want to look into setting up LinuxCNC so it _does_ wait for the spindle to come up to speed. Actually I like this feature. I use HYVFD driver so LinuxCNC gets feedback from the spindle. There is no problem with G0 move to XY location at Clearance Height while the spindle is getting to req...

Path Helix - bug?

I tried path Helix today and this almost caused damage. My point is that no operation should cause a G0 below the safe height. Especially true true for LinuxCNC, where the first G0 moves do not wait for the spindle to rotate at the desired speed. Part of the generated G-Code (Safe height is 13mm): M...
