- more work on the translation engine; the app now restarts after a language is applied
- added protection against using Travel Z parameter with negative or zero value (in Geometry).
- ~~after an object move, the apertures plotted shapes are deleted from canvas and the 'mark all' button is deselected~~
- after move tool action or any other transform (rotate, skew, scale, mirror, offset), the plotted apertures are kept plotted.
- changing units now will convert all the default values from one unit type to another
- prettified the selection shape and the moving shape
- initial work in object hovering shape
- after an object move, the apertures plotted shapes are deleted from canvas and the mark all button is deselected
- fixed offset, rotate, scale, skew for follow_geometry. Fixed the move tool also.
- fixed offset, rotate, scale, skew for 'solid_geometry' inside the self.apertures.
- added some parameters throughout camlib gcode generation functions; handled some possible errors (e.g like when attempting to use an empty Custom GCode Toolchange)
- fixed FlatCAMGerber.merge() to merge the self.apertures[ap]['solid_geometry'] too
- started to work on a new feature that allow adding a ToolChange GCode macro - GUI added both in CNCJob Selected tab and in CNCJob Preferences
- added a limited 'sort-of' Gerber Editor: it allows buffering and scaling of apertures
- changed the shortcut key for YouTube channel from F2 to key F4
- changed the way APP LEVEL is showed both in Edit -> Preferences -> General tab and in each Selected Tab. Changed the ToolTips content for this.
- added the functions for GCode View and GCode Save in Tool SolderPaste
- New feature: added the capability to view the source code of the Gerber/Excellon file that was loaded into the app. The file is also stored as an object attribute for later use. THe view option is in the project context menu and in Menu -> Options -> View Source
- started to work on GUI forms simplification
- changed the Preferences GUI for Geometry and Excellon Objects to make a difference between parameters that are changed often and those that are not.
- finished the solid_geometry restore after edit in Excellon Editor
- finished plotting selection for each tool in the Excellon Tool Table
- fixed the camlib.Excellon.bounds() function for the new type of Excellon geometry therefore fixed the canvas selection, too
- made the Preferences window scrollable on the horizontal side (it was only vertically scrollable before)
- made invisible some buttons that could mislead (the ones for slots converted to drills which I deem unsafe)
- in Excellon Editor added a shortcut key 'T' that popup a window allowing to enter a new Tool with the set diameter
- in App added a shortcut key 'T' that popup a windows allowing to enter a new Tool with set diameter only when the Selected tab is on focus and only if a Geometry object is selected
- changed the shortcut key for Transform Tool from 'T' to 'ALT+T'
- fixed bug in Geometry Selected tab that generated error when used tool offset was less than half of either total length or half of total width. Now the app signal the issue with a status bar message
- added Double Validator for the Offset value so only float numbers can be entered.
- in App added a shortcut key 'T' that popup a windows allowing to enter a new Tool with set diameter only when the Tool tab is on focus and only if a NCC Tool or Paint Area Tool object is installed in the Tool Tab
- fixed bug in Marlin postprocessor for the Excellon files; the header and toolchange event always used the parenthesis witch is not compatible with GCode for Marlin
- fixed a issue with a move to Z_move before any toolchange
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- add setup.py script,
- switch to use images via "share:" resource name
(this allows to work both versions of application:
- system wide installation,
- directly from source),
- add .desktop file,
- rename FlatCAM.py to flatcam and install it as an
executable script.
