How to do infill? #13

Open inakrin opened 3 weeks ago

inakrin commented 3 weeks ago

I have an svg, black and white with infilll. But when I load it in the app, it wants to cut only contour, not fill all the black from svg. Is it possible to do fill?

multigcs commented 3 weeks ago

small warning, the svg support is very bad :( but generally only outlines are read, no fills

if you want to mill something pockets, you have to :

Objects->Select-Object->Pockets->Pocket(activate)

pocket

what do you actually want to do? to color surfaces with a laser ?

Thank you! Are dxf infills supported? I've just purchased a simple 4540 cnc router with 500watt drill. Attempting to mile pcb traces, cut aluminium heatsinks of complex shapes and mile pockets on aluminium plates

generally only outlines, sorry

I wouldn't know how to implement something like that either, but I'll take another look at it

multigcs commented 3 weeks ago

ok, i have add 'support' for hatches (infills in dxf)

it will only setup pocket's automatically to the filled contours (experimental)
