Hi All, I guess you got to this conclusion already but here is the state of affairs regarding Python and C++ in the CAM module: With the exception of the Post-processor the usage of Python falls into 2 categories: Native Python code (i.e. PyTPG's) OR simply presenting the C++ API's to Python. The Py...

Hi Gdo, Can you confirm that the modifictaions only take place into src/Mod/Cam2 directory ? I am pretty sure that only the Cam2 directory has modifications, with two exceptions: I modified the top level CMakeLists.txt file so that it built with GDB symbols for locating some bugs. The src/Mod/CMakeL...

Hi Elrippo, Its not really doing much yet but if you're interested in looking at the code and a UI that doesn't function much yet then check out this repository. Note: the add TPG button isn't complete and causes a segfault, but the TPG library scans the relevant directories and shows a list of TPGs...

Looks good! I start the program go to part design and create a box. Select the box and use the icon to create a new cam feature. I see nothing in the library so I click the reload button. Select any of the three items and click Add TPG and I get a Segmentation fault. I'm happy the CAM module starte...

Its not dead; just a little on the slow side recently. FYI: I have just committed the code I have been working on (and off) over the last few months. I finally got rid of all the segfaults in the module code (I hope). Next task: 'Stubbing' the post processor interface so Dan Falck and co can get wor...

Hi Andy, Thanks for your interest. I've built the head from the https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_sf_master repo, but I don't know how to build the CAM portions. The Cam workbench isn't in the main repo yet (although there is an older attempt to include one in there which as far as I can tell does ...

Hi All, Following Sliptonic's post in another thread I thought it worth while to list the items still outstanding in version 0.1. Settings Interface : Currently nothing further than a design of this work is complete. This would be a nice, well contained, piece of work if someone is interested in get...

Hi John, I propose we remove a good chunk of the CAM infrastructure from the FreeCAD plugin and move it into a separate 'CAM server' application. This would include the TPGs themselves, plus as much of the other 'brains' of the CAM module as makes sense. The FreeCAD CAM module would be responsible f...

Hi All, We need some discussion and input on the TPG Input geometry API. During the initial requirements and design phase of the cam workbench it was said that "the workbench should remain detachable from FreeCAD"; I can't put my hand on this quote but it is my understanding that as a mini...

Hi Al, I don't know the answer to your questions but you might have some luck on the #cam and #freecad irc channels at freenode.net. So one question is what would be a good CAM companion to FreeCAD. I got here from investigating HeeksCNC which also uses Python. I will answer this with obvious bias. ...
