CAM tools improvement suggestion
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2022 12:20 pm
Hi,
I started to use CAM module in QCAD. My CNC machine is controlled by grbl software therefore I declare grbl (offset) [mm] postprocessor.
I found that CAM configuration does not allow for much control of the generated g-code. I found that many g-codes are not necessary for rgbl controller.
Moreover, numbering of the lines causes that the code can not be simulated in CAMotics software.
I would like to ask to add the following options in the "CAM configuration" dialog:
- "do not number lines of code"
- "Do not use G80 at the beginning of the code"
- "Do not use G49 at the beginning of the code"
