Hi all.
since I'm playing more and more with path WB on my Fablab's Xcarve I first have to say that the this WB is awesome. I finally get a WB where I can use freecad to produce things from A to Z (not the case with 3D printing)
However, I recently face a strange situation on engraving.
If I use Draft_ShapeString to engrave some text, it looks like the gcode is exported twice within the gcode file.
indeed by changing the placement of the egraving operation, it appears twice in the 3D view
one in the "operation" the other in the "engraving".
Normal? bug?
see attached an example file.
I cannot upload the post processed gcode as it is a 1.5mo, but you can generate it with the FC file
see below the First duplicated line side by side in Kate and the
OS: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.
Build type: Release
Python version: 2.7.16rc1
Qt version: 5.11.3
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: French/France (fr_FR)
it is the same with both python 3 and python 2 version in Debian.
didn't find any path bug ticket in the tracker.
another issue here is the prost-processing time.
My target is to engrave 11 sentece as the one on the file, and the post-ptocessing, when it works, takes about 1 hour (I guess the double GCode doesn't help)
I also guess it is due to the quantity of segment in text strings.
I use those fonts to get 1 edge font for engraving, but it is indeed with 2 edges (TrueType requisite) Anybody has a clue whit 1 edge fonts other than designing text in the sketcher or removing hundreds of edge after exploding the shapestring? I saw on the web it was a recurring issue for fine detail engraving text.
