Re: First Steps with Path WB
I'm not good with Python and have way too many other project to juggle at this point. That automatic calculation of 2-part molds for complex meshes in FreeCAD is coming along nicely. I haven't seen any code for the 2-part molds but I'm interested. Send a link to even partial implementation and I'll...

Re: First Steps with Path WB
Actually no. I'd do 2 completely different operations for roughing and finishing. So the first would leave 0.6mm of material and be a constant, deep engagement at the expense of not being precise at all with little changes in direction. Flat/constant radius surfaces would be cut in meander to save t...

Re: First Steps with Path WB
Do the internal data structures and assumptions made allow for a later expansion to have a cutter come in along arbitrary vectors (not parallel to the Z axis)?
(I'm following the progress here to see about adding some of my own algorithms when the required infrastructure allows for it.)

Re: First Steps with Path WB
In your introduction posting you don't tell what the difference between "Final Depth" and "Finish Depth" is. Also I am missing any specification of what the material blank looks like. At what stage shall the user specify where the 0-location in the work coordinate system is? Anot...

Re: Units for feedrate
Some machine control software use mm/min (e.g. MACH3) and some use mm/s. Some are configurable. Problem is that due to the factor of 60 users of one system have absolutely no relation to numbers in the other system. I know what 100mm/min are and I have no idea if 10mm/s is something very fast or ver...
Re: status
Thanks. The fix is applied and works.
I can now continue to make it a faccade for another plugin.
Then write the code to execute and modify another plugin's output on the fly.

Re: status
Thank a lot!
I don't think I'd have found that variable name issue.
It's quite unobvious.

Re: status
Marcus, can you post a reply once you've uploaded your code to your repository? If you've already done it then can you tell me which files they are? The new directory InverseKinematicPlugin https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/FreeCAD_sf_master/tree/cam-py/src/Mod/Cam2/App/Plugins And it's entry in CM...

I guess I haven't pushed my changes to my own repository.
I'll do so later today, so you can have a look.
