Path improvements. Needs eyeballs.

PathUtils and PathKurveUtils are fine. PathKurve has been removed. I'm not sure why you're seeing it.

Exactly my point. It is STILL being called!

sgrogan, thanks for the link to source!

The Archlinux installation (folderstructure) is quite sensitive to the use of FreeCAD.getHomePath() vs FreeCAD.getResourceDir().

In Ubuntu i think both return the same value, but in arch the return is different. This leads to issues when the Mod folder is intended to be referenced and FreeCAD.getHomePath() is used.

I'm not sure what' is correct but the change wouldn't work for me on my linux mint (17.3) machine. The two return different:

Code: Select all

>>> 
>>> FreeCAD.getHomePath()
u'/usr/lib/freecad/'
>>> FreeCAD.getResourceDir()
u'/usr/share/freecad/'
>>>

Different on Windows as well

Code: Select all

>>> FreeCAD.getHomePath()
u'C:/Program Files/FreeCAD 0.15/'
>>> FreeCAD.getResourceDir()
u'C:/Program Files/FreeCAD 0.15/data/'

There is a C:/Program Files/FreeCAD 0.15/data/Mod folder that contains stuff like templates.
The work bench files are at C:/Program Files/FreeCAD 0.15/Mod

Thanks @sgrogan and @sliptonic, sorry to waist your time.

I vil follow @drei 's sugestion and run from build folder.

Thanks @sgrogan and @sliptonic, sorry to waist your time.

No waste of time, I always thought the Win and Ubuntu build directories should be the same, but there not.

We should start a new thread, but there's something I don't understand.

Hi, I did play a little bit with the version i did compile today... Here is my Experience:
First time i do a frontpannel in Freecad it is very cool to do it with a sketch! Normaly i do use LibreCAD and HeeksCAD and now i want try it with the path-wb.
-for the frontpannel i think its working so far but do i have to make a path objekt for every single hole, and chosse the right parameters?
-the Box i draw with LibreCAD with the "Cheesy Overcuts" when i than did import the dxf in FreeCAD i got little trouble with this overcuts with the correct rounded values. So i used to do a constrait for every overcut to make it closed. When i than tryed to do a path objekt to cut it out i failed with a 2mm tool:

Code: Select all

<type 'exceptions.IndexError'>: list index out of range

Than 1.99mm tool did it.

Code: Select all

G02 I-9.0050000000000008 J0 X35.994999999999997 Y62.5

i think is a bit much to accurate...
How do i get the tags placed with the mouse and how can i see and change it?

know i do understand how to use tags.

[sliptonic]

but do i have to make a path objekt for every single hole, and chosse the right parameters?

Yes, for now. I'm working on adding task panels for the operations and the panels will have a way to add/remove geometry to the operation. Then it should be possible to have one operation for multiple holes or profiles.

-the Box i draw with LibreCAD with the "Cheesy Overcuts" when i than did import the dxf in FreeCAD i got little trouble with this overcuts with the correct rounded values. So i used to do a constrait for every overcut to make it closed. When i than tryed to do a path objekt to cut it out i failed with a 2mm tool:

I'm not sure what's going on here. It might be something in libarea or in my implementation. I thought all path commands were formatting output to 4 decimal places.

How do i get the tags placed with the mouse and how can i see and change it?

Right click on the profile operation in the tree and 'add holding tag' It should open the draft-snapper tool and let you pick a place on the canvas. You want to pick very close to the edge of the part so it's easiest to set 'top view'. After the point is picked, you can double-click the operation node and edit the tag location if you wish.

While trying the latest comit https://github.com/sliptonic/FreeCAD/co ... b650e034d7 in pathimprove, I find that the EngraveEdit.ui file is probably not considered during make, It probably needs some entry in CMakeLists.txt. But I have not figured out where.
