Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

So I should probably adjust the default to take diameter value minus some percentage (or stepover distance), to be sure that point in the center always gets cleared. I don't think that's the way to go. It should be the stepover specified by the user. If he specifies 100%, so be it, and that can lea...

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

I tried Adaptive for the first time on a real part - and the first time my CNC process looks like milling ;). Never produced a part that fast. I used the "outside" option to process part and stock. IMG_20180926_221952.jpg The path was very nice and effective. What I don't liked was that t...

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

Added some smoothing of linking paths, now it looks like so:

Also I noticed in some rare cases it could happen to leave some internal area uncleared, this is also fixed now.

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

Very Nice! Huge improvement for me. Even on old-busted computer, less than 30 seconds to build the path. Thank you! That's good to hear. In meanwhile I managed to squeeze some 20-30 percent more. Also have some bug fixes i.e. noticed that in some cases it may happen to approach into the cut too clo...

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

Now that your first round of adaptive has been merged into master, will you please rebase your PathAdaptive branch or do additional development in a new branch? If I try to merge your latest changes to test, I get a merge conflict with master. Hi, I've rebased it, now it's in sync with master + one...

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

With which accuracy setting are you getting those results? The default Added the performance optimizations for larger models. On my PC your model is now processed in the range from 4 sec (min accuracy), 6 sec (default accuracy), 32 sec (max accuracy) for comparison the same model with the previous ...

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

Using the same model at home (AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor 12GB), I'm seeing this result: *** Adaptive toolpath processing started... Tool diam: 6.350000 *** Done. Elapsed: 322.135314 sec The first 2/3 of the path generate quite fast ~15 seconds. The rest goes very slow. I had htop running a...

Re: Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

On my work computer, the model took about 30 seconds. On my home computer (which should be faster) it was about 8 minutes. I've attached the file for reference. On my linux PC at home with AMD FX6300 this exact file takes about 15 seconds without any modifications in settings (FX6300 this is relati...
