Maybe we're thinking about this all wrong.

Maybe we're missing a huge marketing opportunity. :D

Re: Translate imported gcode?

@Sliptonic, is the current FC post-processing work flow already setup to apply this placement across the board to all post-processors? Will we only need to insert code into the post-processing work flow to apply the translation before exporting data to a specific post module? Or, will we have to up...

Re: Translate imported gcode?

Here's something else to think about. It depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go... What if the imported gcode has an M6 Tn command followed by some gcode, then ANOTHER M6 Tx followed by more gcode? In that case, it would make sense to create multiple customs. At a minimum, I think your...

Re: Translate imported gcode?

So I got example_pre to load the gcode as a custom and attach it to a path job (mostly cut and paste from PathCustom to example_pre). I would prefer to use the translation to modify the placement, my only hesitation would be whether it's easy to figure out for a new user. For the tool controller I'...

Re: Translate imported gcode?

Thanks, downloading all the build deps now, I usually use the appimage. I'll take a look at the gitter if I have any questions. Everything we're talking about so far is Python code so you can directly modify the files in /Mod/Path/PathScripts and restart FreeCAD. Development should be pretty easy

Re: Translate imported gcode?

I don't have a ton of free time, so it may take me a little while to get up to speed though. Looking at the news today, I think we're all going to have more free time. Maybe that's good for open-source software but kinda sucks for every other aspect of life. Give me a shout if you have questions. T...

Re: Translate imported gcode?

Hi etrombly, I've been thinking about this as well. I think it would make a good feature and isn't too difficult to implement. It sounded from your Reddit post like you're a programmer. Are you interested in working on this? If so, I can give you some direction. When we built the Path workbench, we ...

Re: Release notes for v0.19

I've seen quite a few pull requests merged that involved the expression system. The current version of the release notes page says only that, as part of App:Link, changes were made that affect Expressions. It says the changes are described in the 'core changes' page which links to RealThunders githu...

Re: "16Standard_Failure Index" spamming report window.

I've played a little more with this bug. I still don't understand it but it only occurs if the Path workbench has been loaded. Can you verify?

Where do you think I perfected it?! As of this morning, it still works on teenagers.
