    I thank the developers for this new version
    I would suggest a new function
    The ramp tool, can make a single glide slope at the beginning of the cut and a single ramp in cutting output
    to give an effect with "V" tool
    as the example of the figure[​IMG]

    might be doable for segmented lines, but straight lines will not work since Sketchup will remove all joints and we will not know where to start and stop the Z moves.

    I do not know is with the operation of the programming tool for ramp.
    Speculating in the field of ideas, would be marked by a marked angle or distance previously

    If we could generate Gcode for some of the work in the video, it would be wonderful
    (Video time i want to emphasize =4m29s )

    At the end of the first post in this thread is the link for the download.
    It looks like this:
    dl.png
    You can click either the 'Download link' or on the filename 'SketchUcam-1_4a-7e8d3.rbz' to get the file.

    First of all THANKS!
    After installing 1.4b I did notice the 'Help' screen indicates the version is 1.4a. I rechecked the download just to make sure I didn't miss anything, but the 'Help' indicates 1.4a.

    The 'parameters' menu does indicate 1.4b so I'm sure everything else was updated correctly.

    Again, thanks swarfer for all your work.

    It would be best if you provide more information.
    If your ok providing a Sketchup file that would be the easiest way to help.

    This happens when your decimal separator is not a '.' (dot)
    You need to set the Windows regional settings to use a . for the decimal separator since G-code has to use this.
    Sadly, the G-code plotter is region aware (when it should not be) and is misunderstanding the code, since the G-code ALWAYS has '.' separators.

    This has been discussed quite a bit before now, a search for 'valid floating' brings up many threads...
    http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/gcode-plotter-no-graphic-view.5588/#post-39712
    and a few others which point to
    http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/is-not-a-valid-floating-point-value.5385/
    which I added as a FAQ answer.

    The primary version info is in the parameters dialog, help pages get updated to the current number when the help changes, but I plain old forgot to update the front help page to the current number.

    I will fix it for 1.4c

    The Gcode plotter is a Windows .EXE program.
    Either you need to run it in some sort of emulator (It does w0rk under WINE in Linux)
    or you need to use something else. Universal Gcode Sender is Java based and has a visualizer, bCNC is Python based and can also do it.
    There may be others for Mac, you will need to Google for them I guess.

    Yes, it does. any download problems are probably YOUR internet connection, check there first.
    Yes, SketchUcam does work with Sketchup 2017, both 32 and 64 bit.

    SketchUcam 1.4c released, get it here < bottom of that post

    New stuff, in brief:
    • Help updates
    • added 3D help section
    • arcmoveij() now always used for arc outputs
    • Old files with arcs that have no center property will be rejected, they have to be recoded
    • Errant G0 move with no code removed from plungebore in Marlin mode.
    • Marlin mode streamlined
    • Solve failure to find profile path on Mac due to iOS changing version string
    • Update translation file {- still need to add a lot of strings though
    • Pocketing - new method for complicated faces
    • laser mode holes for GRBL 1.1
    • GRBL 1.1 laser power control mode
    • Using M4 to enable GRBL's new laser power control mode
    Some of the new features are a bit complicated so please READ THE HELP before asking questions.

    Sketchucam 1.4D was released. Get it at the first page of this thread.
    This is an important release for Mach3 users for the G91.1
    Version 1.4d (Jan 2017)
    • Help updates
      • added MAC help section
    • arcmoveij() is INCREMENTAL mode.
      • the 'incremental' form of IJ is used so make sure you set your controller to incremental mode by issuing G91.1
      • Setting or un-setting this does not change the actual Gcode, arcs are ALWAYS incremental mode, this setting just tells the controller what to expect.
      • you can add this code to the G-code via the Options menu
      • an option to output G91.1 as part of the Gcode header has been added to the Feature Options menu.
      • GPLOT will NOT like this option and will not display the plot. You should rather set your controller to default to this mode.
    • Solve failure to find profile path on Mac (for real this time)
      • Sketchup on MAC still has the old .openpanel bug that prevents the use of wildcards. Mac platform is now detected and wildcards avoided.
      • Note that the file select dialog allows selection of a folder, but the profiles folder will always be used no matter what you select.

    Thanks to swarfer for more of his great work!
