Thanks andrew.

No need to go out of your way for me. If it's a problem or I get bored, I could modify third party source and re-compile to sort by layer name before generating gcode.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the right spot to ask, but here goes anyway. Currently using QCAD Pro 3.25.0 on Windows 10. When I save to dxf with multiple layers, how does QCAD decide the order they are generated in the file? I've used a simple text editor to view dxf file after saving and it appe...

Once again, I am extremely greatful for the help. Especially after you took the time to explain the process you took to figure out 1.44. Highly interested. Artistic, 3D & plain CNC engraver myself. Learned the trade 6 years ago from my mentor, a neighbor that ended his business and retired. After 3 ...

Ok, what I'm hearing is basically text is a pain to deal with. But, I plugged in ((Text Height x Line Spacing x 1.44) - Text Height) and get the right answer each time within hundreths of millimeters. I must be a newb at not only coding, but maths as well. I was already planning on using getBounding...

I'm using QCAD Pro 3.21.3 on Windows 10 x64 and ECMAScript. I'm trying to create a widget that can create text from list, but I need to allow for single or multi line text. I'm calculating text size based on a given text area. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to pre-calculate the l...

Worked perfectly, thanks so much. I guess I need to spend more time looking at reference. In the past, I've only coded python scripts and simple programs from various languages. The API for QCAD is a little overwhelming for me and not exactly sure how to always track down the getters and setters. Th...

I'm using QCAD Pro 3.21.3 on Windows 10 x64. I'm trying to modify a text entities X scale but it seems I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've created a text entity using: text = new RTextEntity(document, new RTextData( [text values here]); Looking at the reference material, doesn't look like ther...

Great, thanks for the information. It was definitely my mistake for not quite understanding the meaning of that safety level and seeing that there was a previous issue and assuming the worst. Also, I tried to make a new file, but was having a problem with the function naming scheme, I guess, which w...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently using 3.19.2.0 Windows 32bit Trial edition until I can figure out how to solve this one problem without having to manually edit the gcode file every time. For the past few years, I had been using QCAD CE to make dxf files and then opening them in a program c...

I'm currently using version 3.19 and am still seeing the "G0 Z100" appear after my custom header. I checked the bug tracker listed above and it lists "Closed". Has this not been included in the current version or am I doing something wrong to set my Z home?
