Re: file open/save dialogue with Alzheimers
Just flipped it a couple of times and it seems good. I did have a crash earlier on closing FC, maybe that messed it up. Also the double-negative "DontUseNativeDialog"=False is confusing. Why not "UseNativeDialog"=True :? Anyway, both proposed methods seem to do the job. Thank to ...

Re: file open/save dialogue with Alzheimers
Tools | Edit Prefs | BaseApp | Prefs | Dialogs did not seem to work. I set this after doing the python paste and assumed it would stick. Next time I open the setting is still "true" but I do not see by system dialogs but the FC ones. For now it seems I need to paste python each time, rathe...

Re: engraving: help , how did I do this?
Just for the record, I changed the pad to negative 10mm , edited all the paths to cut 1mm engraving and looked at it in CAD sim. The brown blocks of stock are all still up at z=10mm while the tool correctly follows the new cut in z=0 . Gcode is good. Just the sim has not updated where stock is. Open...

Re: engraving: help , how did I do this?
thanks, I'll check that in a little while. I need to concentrate on one thing at a time. I have managed to get three shapeStrings with a path. I have not checked paths in detail but looks OK. Three paths in one hit, one job would be nice. One ancillary problem is that I don't seem to be able to set ...

Re: engraving: help , how did I do this?
Very commendable prudence. I'm not sure all those submitting PR are that careful ! I have just tried your file with a model containing three shapeStrings on a block , it seems that the first one works fine but subsequent attempts to use the other strings are resulting in multiple paths based on the ...

Re: file open/save dialogue with Alzheimers
ah thanks Chris. I had looked in Edit | Prefs earlier and did not find anything relevant. I was forgetting Tools | Prefs.
certainly flexible you just need to know where to look in the metric tonnes of prefs that are on offer.
Nice permanent fix.

Re: file open/save dialogue with Alzheimers
thanks both. I saw deep's link first and it brings up my system dlg which at least goes to the last used path and fills in filenames. I have not fully tested but it seems way better already. Is there somewhere I can paste those lines to make them load automatically rather than needing to paste every...

Re: engraving: help , how did I do this?
Wow, syres, you're an ace. Dropped that in and I'm back at work. :D Many, many thanks for that fix. I've wasted so much time on this in the last few days, it's not true. Great work. Also thanks to Chris for the alternative method. I'll look at that if I have further issues. Maybe I'll get to spend t...

Re: engraving: help , how did I do this?
Chris , can you suggest a work around? It seems there are several ways to get an outline to engrave.
Yesterday I tried ShapeToSketch but it seemed to fail in a similar way when I tried to get a path.
