Path module development

[medju]

Can you do it now? i need to see this module.

medju, putting pressure like this on developers is inappropriate. They will do it whenever they have the time, not when you "need" it.

Bye to all,
today I managed to do:

git pull on the FreeCAD dir. It has pull in some modification to the codebase. I have a local build dir to not pollute the sources,

There is a manner to compile only the Path module without recompiling all FreeCAD.

I have found nothing about it (or i haven't seen it).

TIA

No. Everytime you change the git branch, you need to rebuild. But normally most of the modules won't change, so it's a quick rebuild.

Hi to all,
I confirm that the build is very rapid.

I have some question about this module the most urgent is how to select the tools dimension (if I have guessed correctly it has to be specified in a table compatible with heeksCNC), but i have tried a path generation only a couple of time and maybe i dind't figure out all the options and menu.

Thanks for developing such module and best regards

Carlo D.

You must be well aware that most GUI tools are still undeveloped. At the moment the only powerful way to work with the path module is via python ( https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/FreeCA ... ath-module )

Tooltables only exist in Project objects, but we're in the process to change a bit how these work, so at the moment editing tooltables is not available via the GUI, only via python.

My most recent builds are looking and working much better than before. For a "pre-alpha" state, I must say, this is looking good.

When you have a moment, what are your plans/visions for a tool table? Spreadsheet or a spreadsheet like interface? A tab in the Combo view? That would be great, having a list of tools and selecting one would provide the data fields below to define them.

At any rate, keep it coming, please, and thank you all ever so much for the work so far.

Access the tool gui by adding a project while a profile path was selected and double click the project in the tree. Now you shuld have a button to press to open the tool dialog.
