GlossCode 0.1.3
Home page
- Clicking a recent program that was moved, renamed or deleted now asks what to do: Locate… opens the Open dialog in the nearest folder that's still there, and the file you pick takes the old one's place in the list with the same machine; Remove from list takes it off.
- A program opened from the command line or with Open with is remembered by its full path, so it opens from the recent list later no matter which folder GlossCode starts in.
Machines
- New plasma machine type. Hypertherm Phoenix/EDGE Connect (first draft), Centroid Acorn and Tormach plasma tables read M07/M08 (Hypertherm) or M61/M62 (Acorn) as cut on and off, D as the kerf offset, and Hypertherm's G59 as setting variables.
- Plasma programs get torch checks instead of spindle checks: a feed move with the torch off, and a program that ends with the torch on. Canned cycle, tool length and spindle speed checks don't run on plasma.
- PLASMA_BRACKET.nc joins the example programs.
Simulation
- The timeline can show the feed rate or the spindle speed instead of Z. Pick it in the timeline's header; the choice is remembered for each machine type.
- On a plasma table the timeline shows the feed rate by default, with a band where the torch is on and marks on lines that change the process or material.
Linux
- The menu entry is now under Development (Programming in the Linux Mint and Cinnamon menus) and Engineering, instead of Utility (Accessories).
- The menu entry shows its icon right after installing, instead of a blank icon until you log out and back in (seen on Linux Mint).
- GlossCode is offered in Open With for
.gcodefiles (the standard G-code file type), as well as plain text files.
