Re: Layers and Offset codes.

Thanks for posting this, I'll have to study it for a while. Line numbers are not needed with LinuxCNC and IMHO make the resulting G code file harder to read. BTW, are you on the LinuxCNC dot org forum? There is a topic over there on QCad CAM in the CAM section. http://linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/...

Re: Adding Options to the CAM Configuration Page

What I have so far is the following but it returns "FC" no matter what selection I make in the layer options combo box. // get the nozzle type Lcnc_Plasma.prototype.getTorchNozzle = function() { //You can get the current layer as follows: var entity = this.getEntity(); var layerId = entity.getLayerI...

Re: Adding Options to the CAM Configuration Page

I did some digging and discovered that getEntity() does indeed work. I don't know if it returns the current entity yet but the code does not crash...

Re: Adding Options to the CAM Configuration Page

Woopie I'm making progress. I'm stuck at: var entity = this.getCurrentEntity(); I looked in GCode.js for getCurrentEntity and it is not there so processing hangs at that line. I also grepped for getCurrentEntity and it does not show up anywhere. I also ran QCad with the debugger switch on and got: T...

Re: Adding Options to the CAM Configuration Page

I tried to add this and I get a loop or something that halts the program. // get the nozzle type Lcnc_Plasma.prototype.getTorchNozzle = function() { return layer.getCustomProperty("QCADCAM", "Cam/TorchNozzle", 1); // here I'm trying to print to standard out just for debugging when running from the c...

Re: Adding Options to the CAM Configuration Page

I'm trying to capture a couple of things from the custom properties and concatenate them into a string to use with writeline. Seems everything I've tried results in an error and the screen won't load. Lcnc_Plasma.prototype.getTorchNozzle = function() { return layer.getCustomProperty("QCADCAM", "Cam/...

Re: Adding Options to the CAM Configuration Page

Ok, I got the page working and now I'm trying to sort out how to get the value from the drop down into my G code. I think this line is a clue but I'm not sure what the options are for? var layerValue = layer.getCustomProperty("QCADCAM", "Cam/ZCutting", docValue); var creates a variable named layerVa...
