It is ready for the next release.
Hi Les,

just downloaded v6.1.64, and no sign of the check box.

Hi Les,

Re: Development version import problems

Found it. The next version will import splines much faster and with greater accuracy. It should be faster then the stable version. Remove duplicate lines is now automatically disabled for complex shapes that would take a long time to check. Thanks Les, I use Coreldraw a lot and I've heard its DXF e...

Re: Development version import problems

Settings are identical Les. I uninstalled v6.1.62 completely, settings and everything, even my license file. Then installed v6.1.53 and my big complicated arty file imported without issues ("Remove Duplicate Lines" enabled). Not as fast as the Standard version mind you, but just a few seco...

Re: Development version import problems

I don't think that's the issue Les. In the Standard version, "Remove Duplicate Lines" is on, yet a big complicated arty file (DXF import) loads in 3 seconds. In the Development version I turn off "Remove Duplicate Lines" and yet when I try to import the exact same file, I can wai...

Development version import problems

Hi Les, Dev. version 6.1.62 Various "arty" type DXF files will not import into Dev. version, but will import without problem into Standard version. First "Loading Drawing / Reading File" takes a long time, then "Removing Duplicate Vectors" just locks up and nothing else...

Re: Not getting THC ON/OFF option in path rules

Hi Daka, I'm guessing it's the way you've written your gcode snippet that is the problem. Example, here is one of my snippets I've copied from some gcode: N0160 M206 (On inside corners) The line number N0160 does nothing and is ignored. M206 is the actual command that is recognised by my controller....

Re: Not getting THC ON/OFF option in path rules

Not sure which manual you are referring to when you say you've gone through the user manual. I've had a quick look at the controller manual and I think that error message may be (quoted from page 42 in the controller manual): Arcing Check Time: Enter any positive number, unit is s. If not detected a...

Re: Path Rules and Code Snippets

Thanks Rob, but path rules simplify things immensely and for small shapes it would be a lot simpler to have the optional tick box Les is suggesting. I don't want to have to pick out every tiny shape and put it on a different layer for example. I do however use custom variables and conditional post p...

Re: Path Rules and Code Snippets

Any idea how I can do that with the path rules "On Small Shapes" and "On Small Circles" so if I wanted a code snippet before M3 and after M5, it would do it automatically.
