LibreCAM

Hi Guys,

I have started building the UI for a cam addon i am calling LibreCAM.
The idea i have had is to lay the UI out using a tabbed interface with the following windows:

If you have any comments for feedback please feel free to share.

If you have any ideas please throw something together and put it up here for the community to see.

Thanks,

Dan

I have started to layout the UI in code:

Can anyone suggest the best way to handle the machines and tools?

I was thinking of doing .xml files in a working folder such as ~/.LibreCAM (onLinux)

Thanks,

Hi Ries,

I have forked your code and started to build on top of it. I have made a lot of changes to the ui and the way the plugin operates with the intention of supporting any machine type, desktop mills, regular mills, laser cutters...

I am really impressed with LibreCAD especially with the stuff for accessing the entity parameters I.e DPI::

I am hoping to have the ui and settings framework finished in a few weeks and start on the GCode stuff in the new year. I like libArea and openvoroni so I will start having a look at implementing them for tool offsets and pocketing paths.

That's all for now.
