Re: GUI font size

Thanks Vanuan! Did manage to fix my font and icon size issue under ubuntu 18.04. I made a bash with that "exec=/usr/bin/env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1. freecad-daily" And after this a desktop file to make an icon to the launcher. Probably some QT related / or python? i...

Re: Z surface bending

Hello! Wow, it was pretty fast solving issue than. I will try it out. Hope this dress-up will be useful in other path/CAM works too. I think this stuff is really helpful on datum-plane and rounded part engraving and slot making. Also could be used it in making lithography / Lithophane. Thanks again!

Z surface bending

Hello! Just wanted to make an engraving a text on a cylinder (mounted in a vice) and I have run into a problem that Freecad cannot make it. The part I wanted to make is too big for the 4th axis. There is a dress-up made by Brad (sliptonic) but it lacks the manual data input option. https://www.youtu...

Re: EDM postprocessor

Just took out the F (feed,velocity) parameters from the postprocessor, cause we don't need it. Actually there is another file who only contains the technical datas like wire width and wire speed and so on. Feed is calculated by these parameters by the EDM. Also we need somehow get rid of the spaces ...

Ticket #6049 - EDM postprocessor

Hello! I have an old EDM (wire cut), and it has a very strange brain for gcode. Only in increment and in a 6 digit axis language can go. So like this: N115% N132G01X+000100Y+000100G40M21 N135P01D01S01T01G43 N136G01Y+009000G44 N137G01G01X+001500Y+000000G40 N138G01X+030000Y+000000G44 N139G02X-002000Y-...
