Community Feedback: What Users Are Saying
- International Workflow: If you sell products globally or create personalized items for clients who speak other languages, the Translate tool saves immense time compared to using external translators and copy-pasting.
- Cleaner Cuts: The improvements to internal cuts mean less post-processing work (sanding or trimming) for inlay projects.
- Reliability: As a maintenance release, 1.6.03 is safer than jumping to the very first version of a new branch (1.6.0), as many early bugs have already been squashed.
- Always follow safety guidelines when using laser cutting and engraving machines. Proper training and safety equipment are essential.
- Stability: Multiple crash fixes for scenarios that previously caused unexpected exits during file import and complex boolean operations.
- GRBL and DSP controller fixes: Improved command handling and timing for certain GRBL-compatible controllers and a few DSP firmwares, reducing missed moves and alignment drift during longer jobs.
- SVG import fidelity: Better handling of SVGs exported from apps that use nonstandard path data — fewer broken shapes and more accurate path joins.
- Text handling: Fixes for kerning and spacing glitches when using certain system fonts, plus more reliable converting of text to paths.
- Cut ordering and nesting: Minor improvements to the nesting algorithm and cut-order heuristics to produce more efficient toolpaths on dense jobs.
- UI/UX tweaks: Small visual fixes in the laser display and dialog boxes; clearer error messages for failed device connections.
- Layer and speed handling: Corrected edge cases where layer speeds or power settings could be misapplied after certain edits or imports.
- Mac/Windows build fixes: Platform-specific fixes addressing installer issues and a few display glitches on high-DPI screens.
