 Ok, got pycam going on linux.  A couple things..
 
 Generate toolpath generates a flat toolpath, it requires generate all to
 generate the curve.

almost :)
There are currently four path strategies:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pycam/index.php?title=ProcessSettings#Strategies
Just choose the surface strategy if you don't want to work on flat layers.


 MM seems to be hard coded here??

no way! :)
Take a look at the preferences - there you can select inch.

 
 Is there a place to input retract height?

I am not sure: is this similar to the concept of safety height?
This could be found in the preferences as well.


Cheers,
Lars

Re: [Emc-users] Text on rounded button.

2012-11-07 Thread Lars Kruse
Hi,

 I am trying the PyCam, it loaded an stl.  Then I created text, the stl
 disappeared.  So I reloaded the stl, then the text is gone.   I must be
 missing some basics.

yes - sorry - this detail was hidden in the article :)
The last release of PyCAM could only handle one model at a time - that's why
you can't see both at the same moment.

Just checkout the latest development branch and run it - this is a matter of
seconds since you already installed all requirements (except git):
 git clone git://pycam.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pycam/pycam
 cd pycam
 scripts/pycam

I hope this helps ...

Re: [Emc-users] running PyCAM (dev) under Windows (was: Text on rounded button.)

2012-11-07 Thread Lars Kruse
Hi Erik,


 I installed the prereqs, and used git, but not sure from there.

did you already clone the git repository?
Where you able to run the pycam script?
(Probably you need to type something like c:\python25\python scripts/pycam)
Are there any error messages?

Cheers,
Lars

Hi Erik,


 Hacked the dll into the directory, got it going, however, whenever I click
 item to view, exception is thrown
 
 Gdk:ERROR:gdkgc-win32.c:748:get_impl_drawable: code shouhd not be reached

I am sorry to hear that you stumbled upon this kind of ugliness!
Sadly the OpenGL library that is used by PyCAM is slightly non-maintained in
the Windows world. Thus I can't help you here.
One or two years down the road PyCAM will switch to another OpenGL library -
but this is of no help for you right now :(

cheers,
Lars

2012-11-06 Thread Lars Kruse
Hi,

 The software I currently have is, alibre pro(no gcode), vcarve pro, and
 meshcam, none of which seem capable of curved text.

did you already try PyCAM?
(disclaimer: I maintain PyCAM)

I just prepared a short article with some screenshots that show how to solve
your specific problem with this software:

Re: [Emc-users] What should I do to get the performance back?

2012-10-25 Thread Lars Kruse
Hi,

 @Lars, in my first post [..]

to avoid any confusion for other readers: I sent a private mail to Sven
yesterday explaining that FMPOV he needs to be more specific about the meaning
of speed and how he measured its decline.

cheers,
Lars
