Hi. As a plotter I have > 10 000 lines/figures. Software simplified it to 10 000 figures. My question - can I get total path length?

svenhb commented 5 months ago

You may increase this value: image

Marmadoc commented 5 months ago

I know about that. But how to get total length of all paths together? I saw on internet that somebody in description added - total length and total time. I do not know by what software. Maybe it is available in this software as well.

svenhb commented 5 months ago

If you activate group, you can get the path length of the group: image

I will check if I can add the total path length into the header section

Marmadoc commented 5 months ago

Thank you for your hard work. Sounds fantastic. Maybe not header section but to G-Code dimension Window info.

It is fantastic - thank you very much. Only one more think - before I created my ini file (case). After new installation my file was deleted. Can you keep setup file during new installation?

svenhb commented 5 months ago

Hm, deleting new files should not happen. If the file is from installation, but newer, you will be ask if it can be overwritten. Completly new files (created by you with uniqe name) should not be touched at all...

Marmadoc commented 5 months ago

Perhaps i did something wrong. Before I install software in my own location. Now installation is available only for default location "C". My ini file is still in previous location, but I'm running out of space on drive C.

One more - maybe you didn't see my post before Graphic Imports -> GCode Generation -> Lasemode - use S0 instead of M5 to switch off Laser I think Lasemode is wrong spelling -> Lasermode.

With magnifier, the "r" is there... image But I separate the word for better reading: image

Thank you

Hi Svenhb. I do not know what I did but Path length info disappears from G Code dimension window. Is not in header either. I did try to download this software from link what you gave me before - but is not there - Page not Found. Any idea how to fix it? Untitled
