2418 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Include a GroupCustom widget in CAM Toolpath dialogs. | Assigned | |

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.

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.

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

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.

2213 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Allow editing Spindle Speed separately for each Toolpat... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Hello dear CAM developers!
I need to use the same tool at different spindle speed in a single machining file. I would deeply appreciate if you could add a Spindle Speed edit field in the CAM Profile Toolpath edit window in order that each Toolpath can have its own Spindle Speed value (same as you did for Feed Rate and Plunge Rate)
FYI, the tool on my concern is a laser who’s power is driven by the Spindle Speed PWM signal. I need to be able to do both engraving and cutting in a single file. Alas! this laser tool is defined with a fix and unique number (99). Therefore I cannot define different laser tools with different speeds.
Many thanks Best regards.

2507 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Add Toolpath from Layer | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
I’ve been able to make this work as proof of concept very easily, but many of the functions are inaccessible/difficult to override from post-processors.
Desired functionality:
1) Enable “Add Profile Toolpath” UI elements all the time (remove setRequiresSelection) 2) CAM Profile Toolpath Dialog: Drop-down menu of available Layers. First option “By Selection Only” 3) “By Selection Only” continues to pass EntityIds of selected objects (existing functionality) 4) Choosing an active Layer will use the Layer as source of EntityIds 5) Any changes to Entities on a Layer will result in those new/removed/changed objects being re-generated without having to manually select and update the tool paths. Either do not recover list of EntityIds from the ToolpathBlock, and instead use “live” each time it’s regenerated, or additional functionality to determine if a LayerId is associated with the Toolpath, and then lookup EntityIds.
I assume the persistence of the Layer selection would be available within the Toolpath, so that it will automatically update EntityIds every time a Toolpath is regenerated, without having to select Entities and updating the toolpath manually.
For large projects, being able to force select objects based upon layer dramatically reduces mistakes and speeds up the workflow.
Thanks

2374 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Add Spindle Speed to Toolpath Dialog | Assigned | |

Task Description
When editing an existing toolpath to update the parameters of the selected tool, we can update the Feed Rate and the Plunge Rate, but I couldn’t find any way to update the Spindle Speed.
Even when using the Edit Tool KE button, we can edit parameters of the tool on concern but none of the modification is applied to the current Toolpath because as I see, tools parameters are copied fron tools definitions to a Toolpath only at creation of this Toolpath, but Toolpath are not updated accordingly.
Could you please add an edit field for Spindle Speed in the CAM Profile Toolpath window?
Many thanks’, and best regards.

With a Mac (and no external mouse) there’s no middle button so it’s not possible to pan the 3D view (that’s what they tell me in the forum). It would be useful if one could use command-drag or control-drag to pan around the 3D view.
