[FIXED] Ticket #3750 - LeadInOutDressup does not work for circles

Post by fbx »

Hi,
I discovered that LeadInOutDressup does not work at all for circular paths. What it does depends on the "Style" choice, however it's always badly wrong. That's very unfortunate to me, it's a feature that I would greatly appreciate.

Aside of that, it would be very useful to be able to choose the points where to lead in/out, in order to eliminate tool marks.

I attach a tiny test project file and a window capture, I hope that this will be improved.

Thank you
fbx

The original author of this dressup died a few months ago. I don't use it, myself so I can't say if it's getting any use or attention.
I agree that this functionality is needed. Hopefully someone will step forward to improve it.

Its a pity the developer of the feature is no longer with us,I would like to have had the chance to thank him for the feature.I use Linux and have only been generating toolpaths with Freecad for three weeks and having managed to use tags and a ramp entry,I find it really good.I know its taken a lot of work over a period of time to get to this point and everybody involved deserves our thanks.I can't wait to see what the next release brings.

What you tell me is very unfortunate and sad. I am sorry for the guy and his family.

What is preventing from turning this into a confirmed bug? This is pretty evident IMO.

I'm doing mantis cleanup and this appears to be resolved.
Delete the dressup and re-add with a current build gives a path like this:

I don't know which PR or developer fixed the bug but thank you mysterious stranger!

Closing the ticket. Will reopen if someone points out an issue.
