- more fixes in camlib.CNCJob regarding usage of toolchange (in case it is None)
- fixed postprocessor files to work with toolchange_xy parameter value = None (no values in Edit - Preferences fields)
- in case that the Toolchange X,Y parameter in Selected (or in Preferences) are deleted then the app will still do the job using the current coordinates for toolchange
- fixed an issue in camlib.CNCJob where tha variable self.toolchange_xy was used for 2 different purposes which created loss of information.
- added a new menu entry for the Gerber Join function: Edit -> Conversions -> "Join Gerber(s) to Gerber" allowing joining Gerber objects into a final Gerber object
- reorganized the Edit -> Preferences -> Global
- redesigned the messagebox that is showed when quiting ot creating a New Project: now it has an option ('Cancel') to abort the process returning to the app
- updated function for copy of an Excellon object for the case when the object has slots
- updated FlatCAMExcellon.merge() function to work in case some (or all) of the merged objects have slots
- added tooltips in Excellon tool table headers
- in Excellon Tool Table the columns are now only selectable by clicking on the header (sorting is done automatically)
- if CNCJob from Excellon then hide the CNC tools table in CNCJob Object
- the units mentioned in HPGL format are only METRIC therefore if FlatCAM units are in INCH they will be transform to METRIC
- the minimum unit in HPGL is 0.025mm therefore the coordinates are rounded to a multiple of 0.025mm
- fixed the message box layout when asking to save the current work
- made sure that whenever the HPGL postprocessor is selected the Toolchange is always ON and the MultiDepth is OFF
- the HPGL postprocessor entry is not allowed in Excellon Object postprocessor selection combobox as it is only applicable for Geometry
- the version date in GCode header is now the one set in FlatCAMApp.App.version_date
- fixed bug in postprocessor files: number of drills is now calculated only for the Excellon objects in toolchange function (only Excellon objects have drills)
- replaced (as per advice from @jpcgt) the lines with app.info call
to using a signal which is safe to use in a threaded environment,
app.inform.emit()
QtGui.QStadardItem is creating issues in the tests. Converting it to a
string solve this. After solving the conflict in the pull request this
modification was lost so I am doing it again.
- the FlatCAMObj.FlatCAMGerber.isolate() method is having the line
app.obj.info() which randomly create issues due of using QPixMaps outside
of the GUI thread.
- I had to play with module imports as they created a lot of error in
the tests although in reality the program worked OK.
- I've fixed some mistakes in TcL commands (they were testing isinstance
against the like of Geometry instead of FlatCAMGeometry)
- I've had to add some fixes in ObjectCollections.py (error on
create_index() method but Marco already fixed this in the checkbox
in project tab pull request and knew about this.
- Although at some point the tests run fine, I've made some checkings
on my own over the Tcl commands and discovered errors which I fixed as
mentioned above.
- conclusion is that tests are just a must and do not cover everything
(like saving projects which at some point by juggling with imports I
braked and tests were 100% OK)
- in camlib.py, CNCJob class -> generate_from_excellon_by_tool() was
failing in the line to sort the tools due of been unable to compare
between dict's. I replaced that section.
