It's getting to be nice in a moment...
I started a brand new QT project today, the DxfDecoder project needs to be more structured to become Sheetcam and Fusion competitive in the future.
Project setup, to be expanded :
Terminal output of a dxf file array : ( Parallel Multidimensional Array's are the core of good luck !!)
I did a trick. I made one array's for Integers values and one array for Double values. The 2 array's are working parallel.
So it's more efficient coded. Every day we learn about mistakes !
Very nice! Thank you.
Thanks Tommy !!
It looks promising so far to me. In the beginning of the new QT project i will write some code special for contour recognizing.
This is the most difficult part, and hope to pass that part soon.
Constructing a formula (algoritme) for autonesting i must investegate.
Mayby OpenGL has already classes that can look if object's are in collision, if not i try to write some abracadabra code for this.
For now it's all about sorting the array that is loaded in memory. (look for matching color codes, sort lines and arc's to objects's etc)
Manipulating array's is just like sorting text files. I was started that way in C about year ago, but i have to use the pc memory (loaded array) to do user defined trick's and output G41.1 and G41.2 on request.
The sorting class with a tolerance input. If user has a bad cad drawing, it even can make a closed contour !!
It looks like a abs formula, but now written for dummies like me. :lol:
@Phill,
I had have a global look at your plasmac manual. I think you could publish this document.
Thanks for your work!! Remember you could use or integrate the Thermal Dynamics cutting charts open source, i have approval for this.
@Rodw,
Thanks for your plasma document. My cap off for your work !! Where do you keep the time for this?
Nice to see Linuxcnc is growing exponential related to plasma.
I can't believe i am writing a C++ coded cam program. Why do i do this ??
