Hi,
I’m new to this software (Carbide Create v8 Pro), enjoying the ease of v-carving plug inlay option a lot.
I’ve build my own CNC machine, so I’m a big fan of the export GCODE option.
Just a question though, Could you please add export GCODE per tool change? I guess disabling a strategy and then export works as well, but this option would save heaps of clicking around…
Thanks anyway for the good work already!
I doubt that C3D will fulfill your request. The Shapeoko/CC/CM would likely not use that feature if at all. Your idea of disable all but one tool path, save, then rinse and repeat for all tool paths is the only option you have for a single toolpath. Stranger things have happened but I would not hold your breath waiting for this feature request.
Automated “output each tool separately” I agree is not likely any time soon.
I had requested “output whatever is selected”. Which I think would be an easier implementation.
i.e. If you select a single path & save g-code, it outputs only that path. If you select a group it only outputs that group. To ouput everything for use with bitsetter, leave them all in one group.
Got to thinking we might be able to create a post that does this.
If the file descriptor is globally available, you could save, close the current output file, then open a new one, perhaps using the tool number or name as a suffix to the filename. ???
