To elaborate, it doesnt follow what you selected in Settings tab?
Correct, so if i choose mm/min in settings, jog>control keeps displaying mm/s ( Am i that bad at describing :) )
You are right, it should change corresponding to the units set. I probably just forgot it. ;) I will check that.
Corrected with commit https://github.com/LaserWeb/LaserWeb4/commit/5bbbf72cc8440abdce1c8df1c68107e7f0425bc5
@cprezzi not sure if you also want to change this so its consistent
Can anyone explain why the G0 Feedrate is needed here and how its used? Does it override the default value? Is it used in GCode generation?
@cojarbi Where is that field from?
@cprezzi I think it's the one under the simulator slider
Sorry main screen, bellow the canvas
Ah ok. I did not program that. Think thats for the CAM.
@tbfleming Can you shed any light on the reason and function of this slider?
Everything in this area affects the workspace, and nothing else:
The G0 Feedrate field is for time estimation that the Simulator slider uses.
@tbfleming Where is this estimation found?
This naming is ambiguous and easily confused by users as to what it relates to. I can see it useful if you could playback the simulator, but i don't this this is possible? Either way, a more appropriate name should be used.
The slider position is proportional to simulation time. Far left is time 0 and far right is estimated end time.
The naming is exactly what it says: G0 Feedrate tells the simulator what feed rate G0 is. The simulator doesn't know since it doesn't talk to the firmware.
You can playback the simulator; just move the slider. After you click on it you can also hold down the left or right arrow keys.
By calling it G0 Feedrate causes it to be confused with actual G0 feed-rates. As I said, it is ambiguous.
Can I suggest calling it something more appropriate to the simulator? 'Simulator Speed" "Simulator Estimation Speed" "Simulation G0"
It's now "Sim G0 Feed".
Thx Todd.

When choosing mm/min in Settings> Application, Should Jog>Control be changed to mm/min also?
Im not sure if we discussed this in the past and decided not to change that, but it makes sense
