What's New in Easel

Easier g-code downloading

The ability to download g-code has been moved from "Machine"->"General Settings" to the "Project" menu.

It will remain on the General Settings window for now but we hope its new location will be easier to find and use. In addition, multistage carves can now download as a zip file containing both g-code files. Users who wish to download the passes separately can also chose to do so. For assistance opening zip files see the following:

Adding points to a shape

Adjust and edit your designs in Easel with more options. Add a point to an existing shape without having to re-create it with the pen tool.

How it works

1. Select your volume on the 2d editor.
2. Enter edit mode (e on the keyboard, double-clicking the volume or clicking the edit button).
3. Drag your cursor along the path of the shape and observe a potential point appear.
4. Click on the location you would like to add the point.
5. Drag/edit the new point as needed.

Issues

Working with extremely large or complicated shapes with a lot of points will degrade performance in Easel.

• Volumes with less than 1k points should receive no noticeable impact on performance.
• Volumes with 8k+ points will have up to a few seconds delay in the edit actions.
