Re: How to add your own postprocessor?

...in Linux, where the file system is case sensitive. This is not the complete picture. Linux doesn't have a single, blessed, filesystem. It has many available file systems, including the not-usually-chosen ones such as NTFS. While most of them are case sensitive, it's not a 100% thing. It is unlik...

Re: How to add your own postprocessor?

Ugh, it's kind of frustrating to watch this thread play out.

Would it be feasible to adjust FreeCAD so the file loading operation does so in a case insensitive fashion?

That seems like it'd fix the undocumented gotcha that has been stumbled over here. ;)

Re: gCode documentation for post-processor developers

Seems strange that M5 isn't listed, as that's the corresponding "spindle off" to match M3 and M4 (both "spindle on" commands).

Re: How to add your own postprocerssor?

No worries. :)

Do you reckon your post processor would be useful for other people?

If so, then maybe the right approach is to contribute it to FreeCAD itself, so it's included for everyone?

Re: How to add your own postprocerssor?

One potential way forward is to extract the contents of the AppImage to a directory, so modifications can be performed. You do this by running the AppImage from the command line, with an argument of " --appimage-extract ": $ ./FreeCAD_0.19-19285-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage...
