OpenCAMLib + Experimental Features

[swizzlakalongie]

Hi!

Is anybody out there using the experimental features from opencamlib on Linux? If so, how are you getting it to work??
After an upgrade on Fedora, It just stopped working for me. Downgrading sends me all the way back to 18.something version... It Forced me to go use Fusion360 but after about an hour I was like " GET ME OUTA HERE!!!!"...

yeah. i love Freecad that much. The workflow is so much better. I need opencamlib back in my life like if it were a lost lover

Please see the `Note` in the Description section for Path_3DSurface in the wiki. It should suffice for instructions.

Whoa! Thanks Russell! It seems that checkbox under Path Preferences was added sometime after I was already using OCL features, so I didn't notice the change until you told me. Now I can get back to milling hahah
I really appreciate the help. Thanks

Maan freecad works so nicely for me that I'm actually going to teach it as the main software for an upcoming course. It's that good I ran into this problem, so I don't get stuck on a noob/RTFM issue like this when the time comes.
