We could start by polling if there are still people using it... True, and it's easy to do but what outcome of the poll would change anything? If the poll says NO ONE is using it, we still probably wouldn't do anything but hide it in 0.18 anyway. If the poll says some people are using it, then, assu...

is it possibe to customize the post-processor to do that automatically? Absolutely. In fact, the post-processors are intended to be customized. The linuxcnc post is the de-facto reference implementation and doesn't have the normalizing code that Chrisb referred to. It would be easy enough to do mod...

I've been doing a video series about TechDraw and getting some comments related to the old Drawing workbench. I'm curious what the plan is to formally deprecate Drawing and remove it from the UI entirely. I don't use it at all anymore and I'm not aware of anything Drawing can do that TechDraw can't ...

I rebuilt with master today ( git 15805) and I'm still seeing it consistently. I'll try it on the Py3 machine later today. This might be a clue: I'm not able to cause the crash if I set the scale to a value larger than 1.0. If I set it to values less than 1, it happens more often. I'm attaching the ...

Most people probably choose their units in preferences and leave it alone. Recently, I've been doing some drawing for other people and I find myself switching units all day long. To switch from one unit schema to another is six mouse clicks. It seems like there's room on the status bar next to the n...

Looking for confirmation before I enter a ticket: 1) create a page and add a view. 2) Add an SVG symbol to the page 3) Select the symbol and change the scale property. Click off the symbol. 4) Recompute the document so the symbol scales. 5) Select the symbol and press delete key. 6) Confirm the dele...

This thread was also about a very old version of Path (0.16). Things have changed mightily since then. If you're running 0.16, you really need to upgrade.

I have been investigating what is possible for lathe code generation and I could use some help. Awesome! I'm thrilled to see someone playing with this. I suspect that the PathArea approach is inherently limited but it might be possible to get a basic rough turning operation to work. If nothing else...

I've attached the script I've been playing with that simply makes a mesh from the Job Face(s), and then moves the points to offset for the tool tip shape. It then makes a copy of the mesh with the Facets that have a negative Normal.z removed. It's not elegant--I didn't split the Facets along the pl...

Alrighty, let's try that again.
