I'm having trouble generating GCODE for the Mill Pocket operation for lot's of shapes I've created. The following hardware/software I have tested always with the same result:
Windows 10 running the latest executable of Laserweb 4.0.996
Windows 10 + Chrome 70.0.3538.77 + lw.comm-server running on a Raspberry Pi
For creation of the SVG file I have used latest version of Inkscape (create a circle, create a rect, convert both objects to path, then union them).
For the DXF example I have used DraftSight as saved it as R12 DXF (ASCII)
What happens:
The generation takes forever. With some other files I've found that it takes ~15 seconds with a 10mm Tool Size and 30 seconds with 8mm Tool Size. With 6mm or even 2mm (what I actually have) I had it running for 60 minutes after which it automatically stops. When I only calculate the box and circle without any intersection it completes after less than a second. I've found one user in gplus who could generate GCODE quite quickly without any issues (from the same example file back then). I however cannot find any reason for that. I've tried it even on 4 different PCs up to now!

You can find the thread on gplus here: https://plus.google.com/communities/115879488566665599508/stream/474dde06-3789-4bf8-b2a9-4c45e3b28db3 - It also includes a lot of other things I've tried to overcome this issue.
The sample SVG and DXF files are uploaded here (they are the most basic ones I could come up with toe reproduce the issue):

Other than this issue I'd point out that Laserweb is the best tool I've used on my CNC router so far! Great job!
