1843 | QCAD/CAM | Bug Report | Low | Creating ToolPath Stalls | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi Andrew,
Still working with and on CAM HPGL for the HP7580 pen plotter.
I have added a penplotter test drawing, that might be used for testing en callibrating plotter and pens. You may add it to the Examples-directory.
QCAD has a lot of trouble creating toolpaths and exports. Much too often it shuts itself down, or gets stalled. Why? I am not sure.

Hallo Andrew
It would be more than conveniant, defining the drilling locations of the drill toolpath, by selecting a circle’s center point.

2557 | QCAD/CAM | Suggestion | Very Low | G20/21 not occuring in generic postprocessors | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Andrew,
I know that GCodeMM.js and GCodeIN.js are generic postprocessors. Mostly used as base for other or custom postprocessor.
The distinct nature is pretty clear from the filename and the suffix in the display name. Another distinct nature is that they include this.unit = RS.Millimeter / RS.Inch intended for the CAM side.
Why don’t they include at least a G20/21 in a generic header?
There are several more specific postprocessors where I miss these G-codes for the measurement system.
True, if they are not supported, no error messages would occur when omitted. The danger is that users rely on build in postprocessors hoping that it matches with the default measurement system of their setup.
IMHO it is safer to trigger an instruction fault before attempting to execute a wrong motion. As fail-save as possible should always be the goal.

Hi Andrew
QCAD/CAM misses a hpgl.plt import. If gerber and G-code can, so should plt.

2418 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Include a GroupCustom widget in CAM Toolpath dialogs. | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Andrew,
Unrelated to OS or QCAD version.
In the postprocessor configuration dialog there is a group box called ‘GroupCustom’. One can add custom widgets to that, rename it and so on.
Such is not provided in CamProfileToolpathDialog.ui or CamDrillToolpathDialog.ui
It should be possible but we aren’t really able to mix up things with the ‘Message’ QLabel ... A reserved QGroupBox would do the trick.

2506 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Include arc segmentation for 'milling' On-Path. | Assigned | |

Task Description
Related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10468
For ‘milling’ on path it doesn’t consider
this.arcInterpolation = true
in the custom postprocessor nor the checked option in the CAM Configuration Dialog.
As far as detected the CamArcInterpolation checkbox of the CAM Configuration Dialog is unrelated to the this.arcInterpolation in the postprocessor.

2555 | QCAD/CAM | Suggestion | Low | Include tool description when selecting a tool. | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Andrew,
At present QCAD/CAM the tool drop-down box displays tool number and diameter between brackets.
It would be more appropriate to display if it is a mill or a drill and/or the description of such. In a further stage of development ball-nose ... Conical ... And so on.
I have several specialized mills with the same diameter. End-mills, roughing mills, routing mills, face mills ....
Tools 1(ø6mm) or 2(ø6mm) don’t say much if tool 1 is a side-mill and tool 2 is a high speed drill for metal.

Task Description
I’m often in the situation that I have to select for nesting 50+ sheets. Currently is only a Shift + left mouse click selection possible. It would be nice if QCAD/CAM could get for the nesting / sheet selection additional a mouse rectangle area selection.

2558 | QCAD/CAM | Bug Report | Low | Offset trajectory path issue with circular Lead In/Out | Waiting on User | |
|
Task Description
Andrew,
Please refer to related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10724#p44206
An eighth circle with radius 8 Lead In/Out relates to nothing in the actual exported cutter trajectory. Nor does it with the edge being cut.
Proper examples and a comparison with ‘Extension’ type Lead In/Out included. Conclusion: IMHO connecting the cutter trajectory and edge being cut is wrong.
It looks a lot like turning on Cutter Compensation (G41/42) while the motion is circular. But that is uncommon because most controllers can not cope with this motion. One can increase the offset gradually along a straight pre-entry segment for turning on G41/42 but not along a circular path. Also see snippet: - Pre-entry C→B turning on G41 - Circular Lead In B→A

1877 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Post Processor Tutorial | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hallo Andrew,
I am still busy on the never ending G-code story. Doing so I wrote a small Post Processor Tutorial for all those nerds who wants to write their own. If you like it you might add it to QCAD. However, since English is not my native tongue I suggest checking it would be wise.
Meanwhile I have downloaded the source code, and could not find the CAM’s Drill-path-script. I am now using a negative Drill Cut Depth to set a Laser Dwell time, were as a field “Dwell Time (in seconds)” in the Drill-path would be more appropiate. Is this script open source available or is it part of ‘closed part’ of QCAD?

2331 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Tabs: Control over on which particular profile used. | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Currently if I position one Tab (KT) to stacked profiles QCADCAM will use it on ALL in Z matching profiles. Practically in most cases would be to use tabs only on the lowest profile.
It would be nice to have some kind of control on which profile a tab has to be used.

2307 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Tools to create dogbones or corner overcut | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
The inside corners of profile tool paths have rounded inside corners. This occurs because the rounded outside the bit cannot make it all the way into the corner of the feature. Think of tracing the inside wall of a cardboard box with a can of soup. The can makes direct contact with the box walls, but its round shape is unable to completely fit into the tight corners— there’s always a gap.
In a dog-bone overcut (see the figure in attachment), the inside profile corner is enlarged into a semicircle, allowing the sharp edges of the mating piece to slide through without interference.
When a dog bone is applied to the inside corners, as shown in the second figure in the attachment, the joints fit together nicely!
The following website explains what should be implemented More elegant CNC dogbones
There are two ways to implement this tool. Either you modify the original design (as implemented in Fusion 360) or you can do it at the moment you define the tool path (Estlcam allows you to do this for example). See the feature Corner overcut, on Estlcam website
