tool doesn't calc V blade cut Z
Issue #324
resolved
Sometimes if I change tool size cut_z doesn’t calc to new value. But if I change blade type to C and back to V it will recalculate

It works but some colors are invisible. So I had to change to light theme)
If you wan’t I will send you screenshots with most bad places.

I only changed the canvas, the Plot area, nothing outside. Changed the little and big mouse cursors colors too. I just realized that I need to change the color of the stylized mouse cursors in the Editors, too ….
The selection is done in Edit → Preferences → General → GUI Settings → Theme.
I’ve prepared the negative icons (found a nice batch image processor open source: imbatch) but did not use them.
I still have to learn a bit on how to style the various widgets used in the app. I also want to get rid of the Title bar (like Pycharm did in latest versions) and make the menu bar behave like this in it’s place. Still more things to learn. -

Look at dropdown ) I didn’t find any issues for the moment on dark theme. But I didn’t find how to change colors to prevent this behaviour -
There I apply a styleSheet. For White theme looks nicer than the default gray. I will switch it back for the dark theme selection.
Could you please switch to dark mode in:
Edit → Preferences → General → GUI Settings → Theme
And post also a picture? I am interested in the integration.

Thanks, Looks decent.
What’s wrong with the Gerber? It’s kind of inflated …
-

No, no) Gerber is fine and flatcam renders it good. This is schema of power inverter 12-100v. I’m trying to get about 200-300w power. So all free space on pcb is used for +12v or GND. Left part should keep 20A pulsed.
And I’m very new to electronics))))))

I assume that you have a Bottom layer too. A big issue in power electronics (and not only) are the current return paths. In the PC power supplies and other industrial power supplies who have to provide high currents, the PWM is usually located on a daughter board mounted perpendicular to the main board, keeping the power elements separated from the lower power side. There also isolation gaps within PCB under transformers and maybe, under optocouplers.
You’ll have to calculate also the temperature rise for the board to see if it will survive the heat in the worst case scenario. Power through the traces is I*I*R so the current has a big impact on this.
You have to provide links of low impedance (low inductance especially) for the paths with high currents.

Yes you are absolutely right. )
yes there will be bottom layer.
this is the second version, the first one can keep about 10-15Amps before pcb roads getting darker )
My main problem at the moment is in current error amplifier I was stupid and made the shunt with an op amp at the output part. So if device shorted op amp have no power to light up an optocoupler. This is not fixed yet) I will finish new design in few days and will test the flatcam with etching new pcb))) -
Hi Anton,
I’ve posted the new 8.98 installer and I also solved the GUI issues that you mentioned. I think you can use the Dark mode in MacOS now, without issues. -

Looks awesome! And gerber loads faster. Thank you Marius.

But issue look not solved. values still not changing from time to time
-
Yes Anton,
'Time to time' is a killer … If it was ‘all the time’ then it was easier.I will close the issue when the issue is solved. Until then … pay attention
-
Do you use Enter to finish the editing? And after that there is no change in the Cut Z field?
-
OK. Solved by adding two new signals, valueChanged() and making sure that the calculated value for CutZ is negative.
-
- changed status to resolved
Solved in latest commit (private repo).

Thanks Anton,
BTW, does the new dark mode of FlatCAM fit well with the dark theme in MacOS?
