CamBam help (General usage) / Control Break unexpected results CB Ver1 64bit

« on: May 11, 2023, 05:46:32 am »

Hi all,
         Finally I get this bug to show on a simple drawing, so I can rule out me pushing Cambam too much.
I have a 4.6mm circle and a line crossing it, ( Making the cut out for a switch )  if I select the circle then the line and do Control Break, I get one result, quite a mangled circle,  if I select the line then the circle I get a different result, my line is now too short on one side  and the circle has a bit of a kink in it.
However I can draw another circle and line  of a different size and get the same expected result no matter which order the selection is made  ( all be it with one unwanted bit already trimmed ).

file attached  so you can try doing a control Break and see if you get the same results.

CamBam help (General usage) / Random Fillet results CB 1.0 64 bit

« on: May 13, 2022, 22:00:50 pm »

I'm having fun trying to fillet some shapes ( polylines ) with CB 1.0 64 bit. I have a fully enclosed  polyline
with 6 corners and only 4 will fillet. I have tried exploding and joining the two which form the left top corner
and tried filleting them, but  they still won't fillet. If I draw two new lines at same angle and similar length elsewhere, I can fillet them no problem.
Is there a known reason why the two top left corners won't fillet. I'm thinking it's a bug.
I have had this before on some other polylines but this is the simplest one that it's failed on.
The left polyline is what I'm trying to fillet, the right in the result I get. (2mm radius )

Feature Requests / Tool and Style Library Auto Back up to another folder.

« on: February 25, 2022, 04:56:33 am »

I just Re installed Cambam in the process of fixing an issue with one Plugin that would not work, and forgot about copying the Tool and Style Libraries, I had a back up, but that's about year old,  (better than nothing)
It would be nice to have an auto back up for at least tools and styles but maybe the whole "system folder" that could be set to an outside folder. ( one that won't get removed by un-unistall or overwritten by a reinstall  ) maybe back up once a week?
( yes re-installing fixed the plugin issue ) but now I will have a few tools and styles to fix / mod.

Feature Requests / Tool Profile...Corner Rounding and Single Point Thread Mills

« on: May 02, 2020, 05:00:33 am »

Could we have another Tool Profile added for Tools in the library.  one for "Corner Rounding" bits. they don't really fit any of the listed profiles. While I can edit the tool name, CamBam  will change it back to being just an end mill ( or which ever profile you used when adding it ) if you are not careful. ( which is very annoying ) I like the tools to be distinct when I scroll down my tool list.... and while we are are at it, can we have one for  "Single Point Thread Mills"  oh and I might as well as for a "Tee Slot Cutter" and " Dove Tail  Cutter"as well Please.
 
Thanks

CamBam help (General usage) / 1.0 RC3 Entering a dimension mathimatically only works on whole numbers.--Bug?

« on: December 01, 2019, 05:46:55 am »

I drew a rectangle, and wanted to center it by dividing the width by 2. this works with whole numbers, But
if I try typing 138.2/2  then  NaN is the result, but 138/2 works fine. the same happens for the width or height dimension as well as setting the lower left values. I had never noticed this before, Earlier version ( But I'm not sure I have used a fractional number before)
Is this by design or is it a bug?

Bug Reports / Cambam V1.0 RC-1 & Alph 16 Unable to print drawing (solved in V1 RC2)

« on: September 27, 2019, 20:14:34 pm »

Hi,
   Not sure if this qualifies as a bug or not. I had a fairly simple drawing which would not print, ( blank in preview but shows in the print menu ) took me a day to figure it out. There was a polyline fragment too small to see ( just see the yellow "x"  when clicking on the polyline in the layers drop down. ( poly line 38 in the attached file )
Deleting the polyline fragment allows printing and preview to work.
