Hi guys, Thank you for your amazing work on Openbuilds softwares. I wonder why, while generating G-Code, Cam sets the spindle to move from an area to another at each path in Pocket mode instead of doing each path of an area. That would reduce a lot the spindle move across the entire area, even more for multiple passes. I guess there is a good reason for that ? Tom
That's up to the operator. If you select both paths and add them to a toolpath together, and apply a pocket to both at the same time, its treated as a single piece of geometry. But if you create each as its own toolpath, it finishes each one on its own too. Full control to the operator
Oh ! Thanks so much, it seems logical. Adding an option to choose operation mode even when we apply a pocket to both paths at the same time should be useful. On a complex piece it should take a lot of time to optimize execution setting each path individually. Edit : This is all the more interesting since we could thus modify the parameters of all the paths at once.
