Engraving with Pocketing doesn't work (0.6.2) #109

Closed jayMcBee closed 6 years ago

jayMcBee commented 6 years ago

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.

sumpfralle commented 6 years ago

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 commented 6 years ago

Well - no toolpath is generated..

sumpfralle commented 6 years ago

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:

See #114.
