• #384

Overhaul of process automation

Create scripts to automatically

• create text or barcode from a data file
• rotate, scale or offset the generated code
• stream code to grbl controller
• wait for input, before processing next data line
• Examples: Loading graphics from a file list to plot: https://youtu.be/8NAn4KABskI Generating text from a CVS file to laser engrave: https://youtu.be/oqVl5zpMbG0

Thanks to heurist1 for improvement. Speed up merge and sort #348

• Hatch fill extension: shrink enveloping path , delete enveloping path
• Import parameter options: Largset object last, sort by dimension
• Bug fix: Height map save as OBJ

New:

• Get GCode parameter from SVG meta data - idea from here: https://github.com/arkypita/LaserGRBL/issues/2052 https://grbl-plotter.de/index.php?id=form-setup-1#format-related
• Option to convert pen-width to S-value (spindle speed, laser power, servo position). To generate data, I modified the plotterfun tool: https://grbl-plotter.de/plotterfun-width/ Note: grouping must be disabled.
• New language polish, thanks to Bartosz
• Import Info during import https://grbl-plotter.de/index.php?id=form-setup-5#misc
