Opps apparently I'm posting on the community edition. Mine is Pro edition.

Makes sense. I have to say that I didn't touch that setting, it came by default set to 6.
I suspect this is the same problem OP is having.

Maybe set it by default to 1 and increase it if your workload needs it?

Hello, I'm facing the same issue. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. Ryzen 5 1600 Nvidia GTX 1650 Qcad 3.25.2 (both qt5.8 and qt5.14) So I tracked the issue to the number of threads used by QCad under Graphics View -> Appearance. When set to 1, it behaves fast as always. When set to auto (6), it lags. When set to...

I've added RColor.addColor("MyColor", new RColor(r, g, b)) to the QCAD API for the next release.

I also find this feature useful. What does it mean? that it will be supported in new versions? or someone can make a plugin for that?

That worked! Moved to a Dark Cyan at 50 Alpha Channel value.

May it be an issue with the option that prevents dark/clear colors against the background or the color lightness threshold?

Hello Andrew, I tried that. It's working a bit better but still far from what I desired. While I can see the lines now, they are still blended with the grid lines, losing some color: 2018-01-05-114009_2560x1080_scrot.png When I move my mouse over the green circle, it's highlighted and brought over t...

Hello, I must say that this is stopping me from using the grid altogether. Since I work in draft mode almost exclusively, it's a bit of a nightmare for me. It seems the grid "layer" is over the objects. An example of a good working grid (IMHO) is the Blender one. I'd love to have its behaviour in QC...

I try with "qcad file.dxf" but nothing works.

Also, "qcad --help" don't show anything.

How can I do it?

QCad Pro 3.18

Thanks.

I can share a file generated by V-Carve mach3 postprocessor. The header is the same as yours, but the footer adds an M09, M30 and "%".

My cnc controller, UCCNC, ignores many of the codes, but still works with mach3 code.

Great, thanks!

[XH!] [YH!] worked.

I've seen the changelog and Mach3 support is coming. That's great news, most amateur cnc machines run some sort of Mach3 compatible software, like mine.

I'm able to reproduce the bug. It's because of my G0 [ZH] on the header. It takes the original 100 value and ignores my current value. I'm attaching the postprocessor too. And got some segmentation faults when clicking the Cam Configuration button. This is part of the output: 19:10:23: Debug: cached...

Andrew I've also found that my files start with G0 Z100, even though I have that value set to 20 (CAM configuration dialog). Also, the footer isn't working properly, it's not expanding the variables. this.header = [ "[N] G0 [ZH]", "[N] G0 [XH] [YH]" ]; this.footer = [ "[N] G0 [XH] [YH]", "[N] M30" ]...

thanks!

I've tested the GCodeOffsetMM postprocessor with my cnc software, UCCNC and it just works. My machine is a Stepcraft 2 840. I'm modding it a bit to add an initial travel to homing positions, and also an ending travel. But I see there is already a hardcoded "G0 [ZH]" somewhere that is printed before ...

Would be nice having them, at least Ramp In.

I use it all the time, it extends tool's life. And the option for how long the ramp is.
