DRAFT - Standalone mode #17

Closed spanner888 closed 2 years ago

Outline of standalone operation.

Sliptonics challenge to also make this FreeCAD addon work as standalone app, has been in my head for months.

I also was thinking this mode could have an impact on bug fixes for units. So here is just an idea, so people can play with the idea. What is presented works, mostly, but is definately incomplete, and almost certainly there are better ways to code this....

Addon works as normal in FreeCAD.

To run standalone just run: "python3 PathFeedsAndSpeedsGui.py"

Just a draft idea ATM, have not done any validation, or imperial units and have left Toolcontroller drop down & button in place for now.

It's going to be difficult to make this addon more integrated with FreeCAD and a standalone application. The two are conflicting aims. The addition of FreeCAD materials makes it even more difficult, so I am reluctantly closing this PR.
