warn if no laser settings exist #207

Open mgmax opened 9 years ago

mgmax commented 9 years ago

If a material-thickness combination has no laser settings for a certain profile, VisiCut just quietly uses 20/100 as laser setting. It should warn or at least use "0/100" (do not laser). People are rather confused because 20/100 works somehow and they don't think the settings are wrong.

is this fixed @mgmax ?

It's only half fixed. Now power defaults to 0%. At least for the more expensive lasercutters this means that the laser doesn't actually cut. The LTT driver gives a warning (which isn't the driver's job IMHO), other drivers don't. IMHO VisiCut should give a warning before sending, because power 0 usually doesn't make sense.
