Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
I have bug in few recent patches. When I try to print background became black and I will print black area which I don't want.I'm using 6.1.74 because this version works fine yet.

No it's windows version using Wine on Mac. I don't think I ever changed language to french. I did now and then I got double french version.

Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
Hey Les,
Is there any way you can do something about the negative overcut bug sometime soon? It is one of my top 3 pet peeves of bugs. We found it what seems like over a year ago and its an issue for us almost every day.

Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
Don't know if this is a "bugs" item or not but here goes!
Is there a way using looped outside corners with tangent lead-in selected to ignore the loop at the start point? It seems to work with arc lead-in like I think it should but not tangent... or am I missing something?!
Thoughts?
Thanks, Steve

Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
Try it without a overcut, that's probably what's causing that.
Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
That worked! I completly overlooked that one, Thanks.

It would be very nice if the simulation would highlight the current line of code in the code editor - follow the bouncing ball - so that anything odd could be debugged.

Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
The simulator isn't running from your code. It uses an internal data format that looks nothing like g-code.
Machines vary a lot. To reliably simulate the code I would have to have a sort of reverse post processor to read the code back and interpret it. The reverse post would be different for each machine. That's an awful lot of work and a maintenance nightmare.

It would be nice (if possible and practical) if the tabs as displayed on the screen were centered on the toolpath centerline instead of centered on the source vector. It would serve as a visual confirmation that I'm asking for a cut on the correct side of the vector.
Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
This just came to me now, don't know if it's possible or not?
When selecting layers it selects wherever the cursor is touching, would it be possible to have the edit start point mode do the same thing, it would speed things up no end if you didn't have to select the layer to edit them all the time.

Re: What bugs you the most in SheetCam?
The problem is that you could have multiple operations on the same layer. Admittedly that probably isn't an issue if you are plasma cutting but it's quite common for milling/routing.
