something to have a play with in the evening

Les I had a look at the 4 shape files and they made sense given all the entities in gcode are either arcs, lines or circles I guess there are no more shapes to define but question.... i can see why it would be slow to programme the code by hand.... but I am wondering if a modified and simplified gco...

Re: Development version shape library

Les I'd be interested in this too as I've got a load of standard shapes that I'm looking to add to a shape library.... just not sure how .... I do have some (better than average ,,🤣) lua, c# c, c++ experience

Re: Opening job with old tools crashes my system

This may not help you entirely.... but its worth trying.... when you load an old file with the old tools + rules, if you select the new tools and rules and press ok and the error message / exclamation mark remains.
