So I create a simple box sketch and I select one of the edges in the sketch that travels along the x axis. I then run this macro and get exactly what I expect a toolpath called my path. I select the opposite line going in the X direction and run the code and get an error saying the object now does n...

I selected a single point on this sketch and ran this code. I then selected another point and ran the code. I did all four corners of the sketch. This picture illustrates the results of running this code every time i selected a point. Is this the information you are looking for? Those G code command...

Check this info out maybe you can find your way. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=41495 and https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=41877. I looked at your model but there is no code for me to see what your trying to do. You have no toolpaths in you file so I can't...

I will give out my python code all day long but I do not want to ever compile another piece of software ever in my life. I don't even know where i would begin. Honestly though I don't feel I am up to the task of helping contribute to the code under the hood of FreeCad. I wish I could personally than...

It is very much the same but it is still different. The biggest difference is I can't control the one and the other one is code. Plus when you use FreeCads import from the file menu you get to choose a processor and the example_pre is the only one that seems to generate anything visible on my screen...

Here is some code to take unknown or known GCode from a file and then create a tool path from that gcode. This Script has a FileDialog box pop up so you can select your .txt .ngc .nc or whatever you named your file. Then it turns that files gcode into a tool path. NOTE Create a new file in freecad t...

This is an deeper dive into using FreeCad to create effective tool paths for your personal needs. The video will demonstrate creating Shapes (Wires) using the PartWorkbench. We will use FeatureArea from the PathWorkbench to create offset wires from the Shapes we create. We will create a Sketch from ...

Charles1954 I have made a video just for you hope this helps.
NOTE
I did not change the start position of the path and that can be done in the data area.

Here is the link to the video. https://youtu.be/xWdTofPfoms

- FeatureArea is based on sketches or wires I believe it is based on the an Area and the objects in the Area can be faces, points edges and all kinds of fun stuff. I can not really answer this because I don't know but the way I see it it is based on a given Area. - it works basically without a job. ...

I can't speak for what is under the hood of Path Area or how it creates the objects it creates. I understand what it wants from me to achieve what I want from it. FeatureArea has nothing to do with a Job because it is not a tool path or any type of Path. Using the type(youwanttoknowstypehere) functi...
