Hi,

Sorry, I did not seem to push to git all the fixes I did yesterday and which are related to this problem (I did that today, but it seems that you pulled before that) Can you pls. try to pull new version, rebuild, and try again.
Thx,
BR

Its working for the torture test although the rapids violate the solid model.

I will PM you a link to the model as its a clients model and I can't share it publicly.

Hi Dan,

It was the problem with the duplicate edge detection in this case. It's fixed now and pushed to git.

Also you will probably need to increase accuracy (slider "Accuracy vs Performance" should probably be full to the left) in this case as it is a very small model with very fine details. Also I would suggest if you can simulate this toolpath somehow before actually running it on CNC as some parts (where the two cleared areas meet each other) look a bit strange to me (it's hard to tell sometimes if they are OK without actually running the simulation)

but it seem to be ok, the area there was already cleared by previous passes :

Hi,

would it be possible to have FreeCAD fork and https://github.com/kreso-t/FreeCAD_Mod_ ... e_Path-Cpp in sync? The latter is easy to build and use with freecad daily ppa. Hopefully Adaptive Path is soon part of the main branch repo of FreeCAD :D

Bye

Thorsten
Hi Thorsten,

The fixes from FreeCAD fork have been merged into the FreeCAD_Mod_Adaptive_Path-Cpp, however as I mentioned before this is not completely the same version as in FreeCAD fork, so some things may not work exactly the same.

Nice work fixing it so quickly!!

Is there anything that can be done about the 'linking moves' where the tool rises between sections?

Yea, I noticed that it sometimes raises the tool unnecessarily - I kept it this way for now cause it does not happen that often and the simple solution I had for this may then be unsafe in some situations. It seems to happen more often with small models and small mills/tools. I'see what I can do about it tomorrow.

Thx sgrogan,

Path workbech in general seem to have some more incompatibility issues with py3, i.e. I can't create Path Job, getting the error:

Code: Select all

Running the Python command 'Path_Job' failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Downloads\FreeCAD_0.18.14446-kreso-t_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2016_x64\Mod\Path\PathScripts\PathJobCmd.py", line 119, in Activated
    self.Execute(dialog.getModel(), dialog.getTemplate())
  File "F:\Downloads\FreeCAD_0.18.14446-kreso-t_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2016_x64\Mod\Path\PathScripts\PathJobCmd.py", line 91, in getModel
    return filter(lambda obj: obj.Label == label, FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.Objects)[0]

'filter' object is not subscriptable
I can try and fix those things in my branch, however as they are not in any way related to adaptive feature, not sure if I should proceed with that or there are plans to fix that in the FreeCAD master?

i.e. this line 91 in PathJobCmd.py:

Code: Select all

    return filter(lambda obj: obj.Label == label, FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.Objects)[0]
should be replaced with the following in order to work with py3 (behaviour of filter method has been changed in py3):

Code: Select all

    return list(filter(lambda obj: obj.Label == label, FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.Objects))[0]

K.
