Excuse me. At me still two problems. 1. When starting the plotter error message : '5.000' is not valid floatinng point value (see picture "not avalid") When the plotter is loaded in its window there is only G-code, picture of tool movement is not. (see picture "plotter"). 2. I draw a hexagon, but the machine is cutting a circle! I was looking through the code in another program (CNC), and there is drawn a circle instead of hexagons. Help me.
this is a Windows regional setting, it is using the , for decimals, like 5,8 but it must be set to use . as in 5.8. SketchUcam is NOT regional setting aware and nor is Gplot.exe delete the cut line select the hexagon right click it select 'explode curve' add cut line This is a Sketchup 'feature' it tags a polygon as a 'curve' in the same way it tags a circle.
let me correct myself a bit. turns out there is a function to ask a curve if it is a polygon or not, but it wasn't being used when applying cut lines. so, in the file [1]Plugins/Phlatboyz/tools/CutTool.rb find line 138 which looks like Code: if ((!e_last.nil?) && (!e_last.curve.nil?) && (e_last.curve.kind_of? Sketchup::ArcCurve)) and replace it with Code: if ((!e_last.nil?) && (!e_last.curve.nil?) && (!e_last.curve.is_polygon?) && (e_last.curve.kind_of? Sketchup::ArcCurve)) [1] this folder will be in c:\programs files\google\sketchup8\ or similar, for Sketchup8 it is in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming or similar, for later Sketchups 2013/14/15
