vector mode settings
wjhutton opened this issue · 5 comments
on some vector images that i burn the image is destroyed when it does the the outline border.
in the vector generation dialog
You have parameters for border speed and filling speed, but only one laser strength setting Smin and Smax.
This becomes an issue with text in logos, when the logo or text is very small. It is also a problem with a complex image that has very fine (thin) edges.
Second minor issue consider adding a check box, or set the default to return to x0 y0 on job completion
please consider
- adding a Check box, default checked: to enable/disable border code generation
- secondly add another Smin and Smax for border
This is an excellent product, and works very well, Thank you for all of your work.
what i currently do is set different speeds, Save the .nc file, open in an editor and locate the border/outline
block and either delete the block, or global search and replace to set a new Smax and if necessary adjust the speed
on some occasions i have removed sections of the outline where it has a tendency to over burn edges.
adding a Check box, default checked: to enable/disable border code generation
Totally agree. This is something I have been thinking about for a long time too, I just have to find a way to prevent someone from setting "no fill" and then setting "no border" and then complaining that nothing comes out of them.
PS. when it's not a bug, but a feature suggest, please use "discussion" section.
understand your concern, of users experiencing no outcome from their selectionst, and not realizing what they have done.
a couple of ideas
1/ place the border check box on the "target image" dialog
and on uncheck, have the code check the fill status, and pop a warning box, or place a line under the border check box in red. "Warning! You have selected no fill, and disabled the border procedure! There will be nothing for LaserGrbl to do!" On rechecking the box clear the warning line.
2/
Another option would be on opening of the dialog box "target image" check the status of the fill selection and
if no fill selected disable unchecking of the box and below the box place a message: " You have selected no fill, The skip border option is not available!"
The message could be placed above or below the check box
I hope this gives an idea on how to resolve the concern
Sorry about placing the comment in the wrong area. I was led astray. Will do next time. In the mean time i look forward to your implementation of this feature.
