Is there a way to change rubber-band trace speed ?
I can square trace just fine, it appears to go at controller jogging speed (100mm’ish), but when tracing rubber-band way my whole machine bounces like crazy on the speed it tries to do it (300+?), trying to turn corners way too hard… ? No idea why.
Went through LB settings - there is nothing specific to tracing ?
Any way to remedy this ?
P.S. Controller is ruida 6442s
Will it not impact square tracing ? Square is too slow, rubberband seems too fast.
But yeah, i’ll try this a bit later. No wonder i didnt know this setting exists as last i’ve used MOVE tab ages ago 
Yes, it affects both square trace and rubber band trace. Adjust as needed depending on what you’re doing.
The issue is that the moves sent for framing are not motion planned - they come to a full stop before running the next move, so if your design is curved, each of those little lines gets a full stop, which is why it shudders. It’s unfortunately normal for DSP controllers.
Just an idea - would it be possible to implement that in software then, running user set speed but controller set accelleration settings ? Like a quick trace of all (selected?) objects into rubberband thing thats sent to machine without firing the tube ?
If i absolutely need to do rubber-band i usually select only outline of the object, increase cut speed and run it as i’d run it normally but without a laser firing. Drawback is i cannot do this with multiple objects as it would take too long drawing everything that would fall inside the rubber band.
Do i make sense ?
The only way I can make it not shake is by actually sending it as a job, not just framing commands. I’d have to send it as a file to be run on the laser in order for it to use the acceleration & motion logic in the machine.
I understand.
Then, how about a way/tool to generate a rubber-band object around selected objects so i can run it in my laser ? Maybe incorporate it somehow into “tool” layers ?
I’ve gone back in time and added this for you:
That’ll do the trick. Why back in time ? Was it in at some point ? Why take it out ?
(I’m teasing - it was added in the 0.9.18 release, I believe)
Shows how much attention i pay to updates… mybad…
