Hello all,
I am a new user but am loving every day learning new things, so If this feature exists please let me know so I can do it right!
My idea is not so useful to those out there that manufacture parts but for all of the engravers out there I know I'm not the only one who would like to see this feature added. So my idea is an easy way to scale your code. eg:
I make up some code to engrave an image and text on a brass plate and make a test piece but it just doesn't look as good as it could if it was 10% larger, so I open up my motor tuning screen and write down how many steps/rev say 2000 and I want it 10% larger so I put in 2200 and now what was 1" is now 1.1"!
I know I could have just loaded my cam program and scaled it there but this way its 100x quicker and easy to do, I imagine it shouldn't be hard to make a scaling wizard that stores original steps/rev, scales it to your new dimensions and then inputs the original again when the program is complete.
Does Mach3 already have this feature and I look like an idiot or am I onto something here?
