Feature Requests :)

Post by SkyMoCo »

Just finishing up a complete retrofit of a 7x14 gantry router. It was using a ancient version of flashcut and I was worried that it was just going to die at some point.

We have a number of machines with various controllers from Hass to Tormach and even some heavily customized Mach3 thrown in there. Haven't gotten into customizing CNC12 yet, so if these are things I can add that would be good to know also. I'd love to standardize our controllers on one of them...

Things that I would like to see in CNC12.

My operators really liked the "time remaining" display. I would think that would be easy.

In the preview screen, the tool doesn't display when you move the machine around manually. I have my operators trained to use that to double check part locations.

When you leave the graph screen and come back, the tool trail is gone.

Is there a way to have the gcode and the graph display on the same screen?
