Engraving with Pocketing doesn't work (0.6.2)

[jayMcBee]

Enabling Pocketing ('holes') in the Engraving strategy causes toolpath generation to fail with the error message on the Console that openvoronoi library failed to load.

Indeed this is just an information (not an error). I clarified the wording now. Openvoronoi was not yet integrated, thus this warning does not really indicate a degraded behaviour.

What exactly is not working for you (besides the message)?

[jayMcBee]

Well - no toolpath is generated..

[sumpfralle]

Yes: sadly the pocketing algorithm of pycam is not stable - thus it fails for many (seemingly trivial) 2D shapes.

Maybe someone wants to work on the integration of an external pocketing library?

Possible candidates:

• opencamlib (#25)
• clipper (#26)
