It is especially easy to do it in cases when as a postprocessor to choose something absolutely primitive, not knowing codes g2 & g3 (then all trajectories will be rectilinear pieces which are easily mirrored and scaled).Д¬ode: Select all o if (Р›РР¦Рћ, РѕС‚СЂРµР·, С„СЂРµР·Р° 6 РєРѕРјРїСЂРµСЃСЃРёРѕРЅРЅР°СЏ)ДЄctually now I use FC only to create curved contours, for one pass and do it by subroutinear.

In these code blocks you can do the math of scaling and even mirroring. (a) There is a code block responsible for rectangular contours - one block per contour, = subroutine P1Д«) code block responsible for curved contours - S1Д¬) the code block responsible for the burial algorithm A1 (different algorithms for different milling cutters, for example, a chamfering cutter - its processing zone increases squarely at burial = depth step and feed rate change) The task that I would solve by your picture is as follows. From the picture, you will be concerned about the running time of the program and the code that FC creates in this part is far from perfect (but safe in terms of protection against tool breakage). In the work I use for management of machine LinuxCNC and in it (as incorrect and in most other decisions) it is possible to use modules, subroutines. They are solved by processing with several tools consistently, end and shaped milling cutters.ДЇC itself can create control programs not only on volume models, but also on contours, sketches without creation of 3-d models. You plan to solve problems that do not require the creation of 3-d models. It's entirely possible to script FreeCAD and Path this way but it's going to take more programming skills.Д¬an you explain your desired workflow in a bit more detail?

Maybe you want to write your own python scripts that can be executed from the command line to update models and generate gcode. That kind of optimization will still require intervention. But the path job won't make more efficient use of material if you cut two small doors instead of one big one. That way you could just adjust the parameters of the model and then post-process the job again.

Maybe you want parametric models as described above, but you want them linked to a stable Path Job. It would be especially useful to link your parameters into a spreadsheet. Rather, you need to design the models right in the first place so they are parametric and stable. Maybe you want to have parametric models of doors and cabinets that you can adjust and which can be used as the base objects for FreeCAD Path Jobs. So I assume you mean you want to parametrically generate regular gcode. I don't think that's what you want and FreeCAD isn't well suited to doing it anyway.

Going off of your title, there's a lot of different ways to interpret what you're asking for.ДЇor example do you want to generate gcode which is parametric? Simple Gcode routines can be written to use variables rather than hard coded values. LinuxCNC has a tool to do something like this but it's really just using the greyscale of the image to control Z depth. Generating gcode directly from an image really isn't possible.
