Fair enough. It was just an idea..
But good to see you had a crack at load last.
I tried it but it would not work for me. Nothing happened.

BUTTON_6_NAME           = Load\Last
BUTTON_6_CODE           = latest-file /home/rod/linuxcnc/nc_files/examples/plasmac


This is on my Chromebook. I left my plasma at work building master at the end of the day so will try on a real config soon.

Edit: that folder does exist.

Well silly me, I left a typo in from my error testing.

look for this line "filess = glob.glob('{}/*.ngc'.format(dir))" and change "filess" to "files" and it should would.

I also left a debug print statement in, I will fix in the morning.

Did the new framing code go back to the old one? I see there is an update on that.

Today I had to do a quick job and use the simple cut function and I wanted to use the laser to see where the sheet was cut and if it was straight but it seems to have the same problem that offsets, so I had to guide me by the torch

Finally had some time to get to looking at this on the table today. It's one of those things that is difficult to visualize on a virtual machine.

Assuming you were using the laser to align to a rotated sheet, then I do see the problem.

Currently QtPlasmaC sets the rotation, and then sets the origin. It just needs to set the origin, then set the rotation. I PR'd a fix for Phill to evaluate.

This would affect the origin placement for all rotations, so good find!

I had previously played with rotation and had some gmocappy macros that do the same thing based on some earlier examples by BigJohnT
When I did that, jogging along an axis with my pendant would follow the edge of the sheet. One thing I noticed yesterday is that qtplasmac does not do that. If you jogged with it, you got normal unrotated motion when jogging but the screen preview rotated and the motion followed the rotation when running a program.

I used G2 L10
Does QTplasmac do it differently?

Qtplasmac just calculates the rotation based on the points chosen, and then applies the rotation with G10 L2 P0 Rxx.

I’ve not experience jogging along the rotated axis automagically, I’ve used rotations on my mill and it did not do that.

Maybe Gmoccapy does something different, but I’m not sure I’d want it to do that honestly. Seems like getting around the table would be really inconvenient without clearing the rotation.
