Single continous path per shape #45

Open un-clouded opened 3 years ago

un-clouded commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Would it be possible for the outline of each shape (box walls only) to be described by a single path? This would make it less laborious to export each shape as a single path for further processing such as programmatic height control with advanced gcode such as with LinuxCNC. Currently I have to use Shift+J to join nodes to form a single path per shape.

Cheers!

Great suggestion, and I agree this would be a really useful feature. Unfortunately I've inherited the code as it is and it's a little difficult to do this as the code is currently. I have made some progress on this in v0.99, however, as now at least the panels are grouped correctly instead of being just a collection of line segments.

I'll keep this in mind next time I look at it, thanks for the suggestion.
