« AXIS 1.1 released | Newest entries | AXIS 1.2 Translations »

Now that 1.1 is released (though a 1.1.1 update may be in the works), it's time to consider what to add in 1.2.

A few new features have already been added. The most exciting is that it is now possible to translate AXIS so that it appears in the user's language. So far a German translation has been contributed by alex_joni. Not all strings are being translated at the moment, but it's only a small matter of programming (and translation). If you'd like to contribute a translation, please contact me.

Other features we're considering include:

  • pick better Z-buffer extents using machine limits from inifile
  • messages when paused (or about to pause) should offer the opportunity to unpause in the dialog
  • make step button work from program beginning (if possible?)
  • Way to turn off lines already plotted in live preview
  • context menu on code area, options "copy", "start at this line"
  • make the view follow the cone around
  • for live plot, G0 vs G1 should be different colors
  • "touch off" interface for setting offsets
  • don't reload, warn preview out of date
  • require confirmation for "home"?
  • show machine extents somehow
but it's too soon to say which of these features we'll decide are the most important, and are easy enough to implement.
