    Hi I used to use the openbuild's cam software and just than now i haven't have probem with it but in a few day the program don't generate the g-code in a correct way because don't close de figures that I try to do. for examples: this one is for Hello world example

    This one is a simple rectangle that don't do it complete with the operation pocket

    And with other programs is the same and I don't know if I'm doing something bad or is a program's problem

    I will investigate it over the weekend, we did make some code changes related to closing paths during the week, so this is possibly a bug from our side :) sorry

    I find it is difficult to zoom in and out in the Cam screen, the screen does not show lead in or lead outs, I'm assuming it does not have that option? The Hello World example works great but cant seem to get a proper tool path on any DXF I put in, seems to add additional lines when I generate G-code want this to work, it seems very simple, just have to get beyond this

    Zoom: mousewheel + positioning mouse over where you want to zoom to

    DXFs: see From CAD to CAM, Cleaning up 2D DWG files for CNC. (and make sure your DXFs contain only Polylines, and save as R14 format)

    And then also note the above bug

    Sorry for only getting back to you now:
    For now I rolled back the code to before the changes made on 2 Oct - so ctrl+F5 (forced refresh of browser) should get you back to work for now :)
    Will finish up the open vector code and push an update later again

    Thanks so much for that, in one moment I thought that maybe could be a problem with my machine but I noted the code wasn't ended so for that reason I asked.
    thanks for the help
