## Pie Menu
- bound to 'Alt + C' by default
- 2 main levels
- CAM - Machine, Tools, Material, Info
- Operation - Feedrate, Cutter, Setup etc
- navigate between all levels with 'Home' and 'Back' buttons
- most, if not all functionality from the ui_panels has been replicated here
## Curve Create Names
- most operations were named after the objects they created
- a few were named 'Create...' e.g. 'Create Lissajous'
- these have been renamed to remove the word 'Create', making them consistent with other Curve Creator names
Enforced title case and naming consistency across names, labels, print and progress strings.
Fixed Bridge Generation for Mesh-based objects, though path generation does not account for bridges unless they are made into meshes and joined with the main object - will need to be patched separately.
Updated the README to fix an inconsistency with the pipes in the Files Organization diagram, and to change the comment in 'documentation' to reflect the naming used elsewhere - 'How to Use (Wiki)'
Operation Presets have been updated to create a new operation by default, they will also now follow the naming convention - OP_ObjectName_OperationNumber_PresetName, to keep in line with the naming of default operations.
I submitted the last commit after checking my `cam_chunk` file against the `chunk` file in Alain's repo to make sure I hadn't introduced any errors.
When I saw that his code had `nchunk_points` I assumed that my change was a mistake, and I reverted it.
However, upon closer inspection of the code, I believe that it should, in fact, be changed.
There is no reference to `nchunk_points` elsewhere in the code, though there is a similarly named `chunk_points` variable.
`nchunk` is an instance of `camPathChunkBuilder` which has `points`, but not `nchunk_points`.
Cutter and Machine Presets worked without issue.
Operation presets would load, but could not be saved - `AttributeError`
This was caused by 3 errors in `AddPresetCamOperation` in `init`:
- `o.movement.movement.spindle_rotation` changed to `o.movement.spindle_rotation`
- `o.optimize` and `o.optimize_threshold` changed to `o.optimisation.optimize` and `o.optimisation.optimize_threshold`
Discovered this while trying to add a small usability patch that would add an operation if there wasn't already on in the scene, so that loading an operation preset wouldn't cause an error message.
Patch was done by adding a `setup_operation_preset` function in `utils` that would `try: except` to try to adjust an existing operation, but add one if one isn't present.
I also patched the existing operation presets, though they aren't copied to disk by default, so I added a `BoolProperty` to the `AddonPreferences` and copy logic to the `check_operations_on_load` handler so that they will only be copied once. The copy operation does not affect any additional presets the user may have, only the default set that come with the addon.
Also fixed the 'Material Preview' viewport mode.
Previously the object would disappear when switching to that mode.
Render Engines have the option to 'borrow' Material Preview mode from EEVEE via a boolean `bl_use_eevee_viewport = True`
I set that, and added the panels to the Material tab when in Cam.
Commented out `numba` import from the `__init__` for now, until the issues with crashing can be resolved.
Moved `_IS_LOADING_DEFAULTS` out of the `updateMachine` function, declared the default value = False, and grabbed it via `utils.IS_LOADING_DEFAULTS`.
(Note: It was already declared a `global` variable within the function, and I thought that would have been enough to avoid this error, but it works now)
Lastly, altered the cleanup in the `_calc_path` function in `ops.py` - previously it was checking for and deleting objects without issues.
In Blender 4.1 deleting an object would still leave behind mesh data that retained the object name, causing the cleanup function to not recognize and update old operations.
Simply deleting the mesh data solves the issue, as it will also delete the object with it, even though the reverse is no longer true.
