Reading ellipses stored in blocks can result in incorrect results

[lianzaozi]

The software version 1.7.0.2 reads elliptical arcs stored in blocks, which may result in incorrect orientation of the read graphics. This error should exist in all versions

If I draw such ellipse in LibreCAD, the import in GRBL-Plotter is correct.

I feel that the problem lies in the fact that the plotter software may have a problem parsing the code stored in the elliptical arc part of the block

I used autocad 2019 to draw this figure, and the elliptic arc is in a block. If the elliptic arc is not in the block, it is also correct for plotter to read the elliptic arc that is not in the block

The steps for drawing this elliptic arc

1. Draw an elliptic arc in AutoCAD
2. Save the elliptic arc drawn in the first step as a block named "123".
3. Insert the block named "123" stored in step 2 and rotate it 30 degrees

I guess is that the plotter software may have a problem with the part of the code that interprets the elliptic arc stored in the block

Found the problem: I applied group-angle also to start/end angle of ellipse.

I still need more testing for version 1.7.0.2-g software

There is also an error reading arcs stored in the block(Testing with version 1.7.0.2 software)

Plotter software and AutoCAD software read the arcs stored in the block, and the coordinates of the starting point of the arcs displayed by the two software are different

Should be fixed now: https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter/blob/master/GRBL-Plotter_Setup_1_7_0_2_h.exe

[lianzaozi]

After testing, version 1.7.0.2-g of the software temporarily found no issues when reading elliptical arcs and arcs stored in blocks

👍 I hope you mean 1.7.0.2-h

Sorry, there was an error in the input of the previous reply version

Yes, the version I tested is 1.7.0.2-h, and no issues have been found so far
