"BSD licenses are a family of permissive free software licenses, imposing minimal restrictions on the use and distribution of covered software.
#Ncplot path vs license#
Most of the companies I deal with prefer a more "permissive free" license as opposed to the GNU thing. Yea the halo thing is a bit much - but so is he. the second time I did, he stated, "If you use that term one more time I'll never speak to you again. I mentioned the term "open source" to him. I had the opportunity to deal with various "open source" projects - but mainly OpenBSD since it's used by a lot of security conscious products (single thread).īut one person I came across - when doing the hardware crypto stuff and the ports from BSD to Linux - was Richard Stallman - the founder of the GNU license thing Tho, when I was working with ex-NSA guys and some of the best computer hackers here in D.C. Wish I could use it.Īnything that sticks it to the man (ie - big commercial companies) I'm all for. So no, I really don't care so much - I still have V Mill and CAMBam but as I stated, FC Path looks really cool. And I hope that any other future user of FC that has the same issue will be helped with what I found. In the case of my original problem of not being able to produce usable GCode - I had to figure it out myself. I understand that you're all volunteers - I'm on at least 15 forums of various things - From EDA to CAM to CAD to music production - and try to help anyone I can. It would trash the ability of me running the hundreds of Gcode files I already have that use abs arc mode. Why don't you just set it to incremental mode? Whats the problem? Kind of a showstopper of using Freecad for me - shame too, cause it looks pretty cool.
#Ncplot path vs code#
So I really can't set up my machine and all my other CAM tools, as well as my machines to incr arcs without causing the hundreds of G Code files I have not being able to be run without major pain. I have two more programs that also allow setting between abs or incr arc mode. py post file.Īnd using a preamble of G91.1 won't work 'cause the posted code is still in incr arc format. There needs to be a way to select absolute arc's - either a simple - type argument or a variable in the. I have four other CAM programs that all use absolute arcs, 3 backplot programs that all use absolute arc's, and hundreds of Gcode files that all use absolute arcs See vid here of what ncplot shows incr arc vs absolute: Having the wrong arc setting shows what's in that topic. My Mach 3 has been set this way for years - 15 to be exact. As i understand gcode arcs, the center is either stated as an offset from the endpoints or calculated by the control from the R word. I'm not even sure I understand what format you're referring to. Can you explain more about the need for this?
