exporting gcode fails

[herbk]

Hi,
one more problem i have... If i try to export a job to a gcode file, i got this error message:

Code: Select all

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: export() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)  

I tryd at the "old" way: selecting job ->file ->export ->selcting filetype und linuxcnc in the popup.
A other way to get a gcode file i havn't found....

No problem here. Could you attach a (preferable simple) model where the error occurs and add your FreeCAD info and which postprocessor you used (is it still linux-cnc?).

postprocessor: generic_post.py

Hi Chris,

Infos about FreeCAD and which postprozessor i use is in the first post, but yes, it's still LinuxCNC. And i got the same Error if i try to export with generic_post.

I think, Try: Select the JOB, then click on post code icon second from bottom left to solve this; dont export

а почему, интересно, в этом файле может быть виден как тело сам инструмент? - в моих файлах этого не получается.
Если точнее - то тот инструмент, который программа знает как "инструмент по умолчанию" виден, отображется, а тот, что добавлен через меню выбора инструмента - не виден.

And why, I wonder, in this file can be seen as the body of the instrument itself? - This does not work in my files.
To be more precise - that the tool that the program knows as the "default tool" can be seen, visible, and one that is added through the tool menu - not visible.

Edit your tool in tooltable and make sure it has both diameter and cutting edge height. Those two values are used to make the cylinder.

Double excuse from my side, I didn't read the first post properly. It mentioned the post processor and it mentioned the way of export. I can repeat the error here, it seems to be independent from the post processor. So currently the way to go is: what bill said.

Hi,
thx, that works here to.

Hi memfis,
is that the file i postet? I can not see the Tool to, but if i remember right somwhere is a button to switch it on or off (i think i read about...)

But if the cylinder should show thr tool, then the placement is not correct. The center of the tool hase to be at the green line. i think.

No. That is not the case (yet). It always displays the tool at 0,0. I would like to make it display the tool at a currently selected line of gcode in the inspect dialog but that has not been written yet.

I think I broke that with adding support for arguments to the post processor. Filed issue http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=2789.

And thanks for pointing that out - I wasn't aware that there was an old way
