I can generate the nc code without a problem. I want to then use openSCAD to verify the code cuts the part correct. I will need to set up openSCAD with a set of matrices to simulate the machine motion and position the tool. Create/import geometry to simulate material to be cut. Define geometry to use for the tool. Use the nc code positions to simulate cutting the part. There is a new development for FreeCad to generate gcode: http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2015=22 2015-02-04 22:36 GMT+01:00 Peter Falke <[hidden email] <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11659&i=0>>: > Does`nt position(a) get cashed(sp?)? > > 2015-02-04 20:53 GMT+01:00 stustev <[hidden email] > <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11659&i=1>>: > >> got it working - thanks >> >> On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 1:43 PM, Peter Falke [via OpenSCAD] <[hidden >> email] <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11454&i=0>> wrote: >> >>> I'm using version = [2014, 6, 29]. >>> The following changes made it work for me: >>> >>> // posx = position(a); >>> >>> color("black") >>> >>> translate([position(a)[0], position(a)[1], -3*r]) >>> >>> cube([0.8, 0.8, 0.2], center = true); >>> >>> >>> With a newer build the assignment in blocks does work, I believe. >>> >>> >>> In the code, maybe someone could add a line about what version of >>> OpenSCAD is required to run it? >>> >>> >>> Sincerely, >>> >>> >>> TakeItAndRun >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> 2015-02-04 20:08 GMT+01:00 Marius Kintel <[hidden email] >>> <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11452&i=0>>: >>> >>>> On Feb 4, 2015, at 13:54 PM, Stuart Stevenson <[hidden email] >>>> <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11452&i=1>> wrote: >>>> >>>> > http://files.openscad.org/examples/Advanced/animation.html >>>> > >>>> > this is the link Marius provided as an example of animation >>>> > >>>> > It would not run on my computer >>>> > >>>> You need a development snapshot of OpenSCAD to see that example. >>>> >>>> -Marius >>>> >>>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> OpenSCAD mailing list >>>> [hidden email] <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11452&i=2> >>>> http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org >>>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> [hidden email] <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=11452&i=3> >>> >>> P.S.
