Easel has come a long way since the first X-carves have rolled out, but here are some easy improvements that would make every users (or advanced user) easier, or maybe just mine who knows.
Jog control on the main screen without having to go into carve everytime
Home button on main screen
The console line sending bar on the main screen (or maybe even the 3 of these item on a pull down tab)
and of cause a touch plate button
Most of the issues are just logistical issues that cause the user a lot of time and are easy fixes.
While other programs can utilize other fonts, some folks solely use Easel. It would be nice if Easel could support other fonts. A snap to grid function would be nice, as well as a center in workspace function.
@EricDobroveanu I new about the home button, but thanks for the machine inspector shortcut! Now if we only had jog buttons without heading into carve and a touch plate button
@NAM37 you need to run setup again and enable your homing to see it
Correct me if Iām wrong, but I think @BrianSaban meant snap your designs to the increments on the grid, rather than eyeballing it or needing to use the X/Y entry fields in the pop up menu.
Actually, that was my suggestion, but you are correct, I would like to see a snap to grid where the design snaps to an increment on the work surface grid. There should be button to turn that feature on and off, as needed, as in AutoCad and other Cad programs. I have not seen the centering feature before, but its nice to know that its there.
I would also like to see the console on the main page. Perhaps it could be optional and enabled as āAdvanced User Consoleā or something. Some mock ups of what I was thinking:
you know, like in all those YouTube videos ā¦
