Re: surface flattening

Thanks! That was what I was looking for. And really, out of all the garbage this topic was the only one serious search result. Mesh Design with Basic face unfolding now works. But still... I get a segfault when doing Create mesh from shape, it has something to do with libMEFISTO which is also from F...

Re: surface flattening

yeah most likely it is not FreeCAD, its the depencencies... which are not always clearly labelled and pointed out during building. Another problem is less conservative search engines returning garbage when you try to look for "flatmesh", as the problem now seems to be directly related to &...

Re: surface flattening

I uploaded conda-builds for linux and windows. These builds make the functionality available. To build the flatmesh library you have to use pybind11 instead of boost-python. edit: @sgrogan pybind11 is also available from pip. Hi, I use Slackware 14.2, and after last two days I finally got opencamli...

Re: toolmanager bombed out , all tools gone.

Hi. I ran into this, but this is not all. I'm on slackware 14.2, where i managed to get QT5 working, just to have FlatCAM working. Before this I was using 0.18 from about a year ago, and I was using the same slackbuild. It somehow went ok, but it used the pyside not pyside2, so I got this error. Oth...

Re: CNC Lathe and 4th-axis milling...

Hey Chris, I ran into situations where it does not reload. Is there a limit to what can be reloaded? I believe that was mostly when I was modifying the InitGui.py, but it also happened with postprocessor or things inside PathScripts. It seemed to reload correctly, however the changes were not runnin...

Re: script=console=GUI-less operation. Stock "refresh". Saving broken?

Is that movable? I get that at 0,0,0 and does not look mobile. In the tree another one is in each Body object, and moves with that object but it does not show the arrows. If I remember there was some thing like "set origin" in Path, was that dropped after 0.17? I see that could lead to a l...

Re: script=console=GUI-less operation. Stock "refresh". Saving broken?

I would say it is now handled much better with model-clones than without them. The positioning is still quite manual if not set right in body at the beginning. I'm ok with all that and I'm very happy I can use that and change that one line too so it fits my need. What do You mean by the visualized o...

Re: script=console=GUI-less operation. Stock "refresh". Saving broken?

This is what I expected, however it does not make much sense if we are using the stock based on the model and extended a bit more. That is exactly the reverse - machine expects the user to cut X/Y from Z material and put it on the table. It gets even worse: if the object has zero on top left corner,...

Re: script=console=GUI-less operation. Stock "refresh". Saving broken?

I was just playing around. I'm not sure how that works. New box is created in place of old one, does the old one go anywhere or just disappears? What I found is that execute (if I understand correctly, this is executed on recompute) does not change the stock position but it can change its size. This...

Re: Can't disable operation with dress up

It kind of works that way, if all the operations are hidden. Since they are visible when Job is visible, maybe they could get automatically hidden by default after closing the GUI for that operation? This way if one was working on a path in the gui with the Job hidden, there would be just one path v...
