Re: Using FreeCAD + PathWB for Laser cutting workflows
The outline of the logo could be easily engraved, and a milling face path could be used to fill in the logo; but in case a real picture is used, I didn't find yet a way to do a kind of grayscale (adjusting laser power) engraving. Is this something possible ? I am not aware of any direct way to do t...

Re: Path Development Philosophy
In a recent online meetup we had some discussion about how Path development should proceed. It was suggested that I write this up so it could get broader visibility and discussion. I'm recreating this from memory so please correct me if I get something wrong or miss something. Thanks for this post....

Re: Bevel macro -- Now in Addon Manager
TheMarkster
Thanks for making this macro, for what it is worth I have used it on a couple of test parts and it seems to work well.
Just curious if you are planning to submit a PartDesign PR to make this a standard feature at some stage?

Re: [BUG] Cancel does not work with Datum Planes
For the record the now deleted branch was definitely a "horrible dirty patch" intended to get the discussion going again.
At least it wasn't a complete waste of time as there is a link to the PR and other discussion thread now.

Re: [BUG] Cancel does not work with Datum Planes
Recently used Datum planes for a model and came across this issue. My understanding after reviewing the code is there are two commands being added to the undo list when a DatumPlane is created: - Create DatumPlane - Edit Attachment When the user presses the Cancel button (linked to the reject method...

Yes, good idea.RatonLaveur wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 7:59 pm It very much looks like you should be talking to Russ. He works on 4th axis indexing at the moment, I'm sure there are synergies with your pipe simulator.

Re: Using FreeCAD + PathWB for Laser cutting workflows
2D cutting Steps taken: - Pre-processed an existing DXF file in QCAD (deleted duplicate and zero length entries, exploded splines into lines and arcs and then simplified the polylines to reduce complexity) - Imported the DXF as Draft shape then to a Sketch - Edited the sketch to add tangent constrai...

Re: Using FreeCAD + PathWB for Laser cutting workflows
Pipe Cope cutting This model seems simpler than the previous one but actually required considerably more effort. - It is based on Part / PartDesign shapes that were Boolean cut together. - These shapes where then processed to produce a “Normal Cut” so the profiles would represent the cutting action ...

Re: Using FreeCAD + PathWB for Laser cutting workflows
To start things off here is a video showing Path Simulator enhanced with Axis Mapping support. Still early stages and experimental but quite functional and rewarding to see working. :D This model is created using: - InkScape to convert a BMP to SVG - Draft WB to convert to a Sketch - Curves WB Sketc...
