  1. SketchUcam 1.1c released

    David the swarfer
    This release replaces previous releases and contains the following features:

    • Setup Profiles
      • Menu items
        • Tools|Phlatboyz|Save Profile
        • Tools|Phlatboyz|Load Profile
        • Tools|Phlatboyz|Delete
      • Buttons on Parameters webdialog
      • Saves and loads the following variables
        spindlespeed
        feedrate
        plungerate
        cutfactor
        bitdiameter
        tabwidth
        tabdepth
        safetravel
        usemultipass
        multipassdepth
        gen3d
        stepover
        materialthickness (optional - see MyConstants-example.rb)
      • After a load, the comment parameter will read "Loaded profile NAME" where NAME is the name of the profile.
      • Profile names must not have spaces or punctuation in them, but can be as long as 250 characters.
    • CW/CWW choices for plunge holes and pockets
      Set one or more of
      Use_pocket_CW = false
      Use_plunge_CW = false
      to true to get CW cuts on pockets and plunge holes respectively.
      Normally these will cut CCW to use climb-milling but if the machine
      is not stiff enough CW will give a better finish. The overhead gantry setting
      will not affect this.
    • Phlatprinter outfeed option
      Set Use_outfeed = false to true to use the outfeed feature. This is ONLY for Phlatprinters. Normally a Phlatprinter will go to 'home' at the end of a job, which means that the material is sticking out the back of the machine. Setting this option to true causes the material to be fed forward out of the machine to 75% of the material 'safe length'. This should make it easier to remove at the end of a job.
    • Options Summary
      Menu Tools|Phlatboyz|Options Summary Shows a dialog box with a list of options settable in MyConstants.rb, and their current values.
    • Pocket zigzag direction
      • Default setting in MyConstants.rb allows you to set this to whatever your preference is.
      • Press END key to toggle after selecting tool.
      • CTRL and SHIFT still select inner and outer as usual.
    • Phlatbones
      • Tool diameter setting improved:
      • Correctly detects inch/mm mode and uses appropriate units
      • Adds 0.01" to bit diameter and rounds result to 3 digits
    • Help updated extensively.
    • Parameters tool 'restore defaults' bug fixed
    After upgrading please restart Sketchup
