it is copied from preprocessor where it IS defined below. You are right! This is probably due to the fact that in the FreeCAD WiKi documentation it is written: Pre- and post-processors work exactly the same way. They just do the contrary: The pre scripts convert from specific GCode to FreeCAD's &qu...

Hi @drmacro, @sliptonic, Looking at grbl_post.python # *************************************************************************** # * to distinguish python built-in open function from the one declared below if open.__module__ in ['__builtin__', 'io']: pythonopen = open Gauthier might have some insi...

Hi @freman, Thanks for this good idea of canned cycle speed optimisation, and sorry for my late response... Since NIST RS274NGC is not the only GCode standard (ISO 6983, DIN 66025, PN-73M-55256 or PN-93/M-55251are other ones), I think this must be a postprocessor optio n, and it shouldn't be activat...

(...) i cant find the option EnableExperimentalFeatures neither. (...) This option doesn't exist by default, as mlampert say, you need to create it: - In the parameter editor (FreeCAD menu "Tools/Edit parameters"), navigate to "BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Path", then right click on ...

Hi, many thanks for replies! By default, debian installed the OpenCascade library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, and FreeCAD in /usr/bin/freecad. Compilation & install of OpenCASCADE from up to date version of opencascade.com put the library in /usr/local/lib. I updated the default FreeCAD deskto...

In my system, both 7.3 from Debian standard repository and 7.4 compiled by myself from up to date opencascade.com official sources are installed. And probably the...

Hi all, Yesterday, I just reinstalled my box with Debian 10 (Stable/Buster), then, I reinstalled FreeCAD with the command: sudo apt install freecad So, by default, it have been installed in Python 2 version :-( So, I have uninstalled it with: sudo apt purge freecad sudo apt autoremove --purge Then, ...

Hi all, ... the default editor often is an editor running in the commandline window. If the EDITOR environment variable is set, ... It's much more complicated than just using the $EDITOR variable for console editor... Yes, the $EDITOR variable may be used for define the editor, but there is other me...

Please check, comment or correct. What a good job! I think there's just a little typo in the "Programming your own postprocessor" paragraph: You Wrote: linuxcnc-post.py and it should be linuxcnc_post.py. "_", and not "-". On another subject, I am making good progress o...

Hi all, It is a good idea to allow the use of an external editor to view the GCode. I'm going to get down to implementing it... In my opinion, this must be fully configurable while retaining the capacity of the internal editor. It will therefore be necessary to add an "editor" configuratio...
