    That's an interesting question.

    You could draw a blank line from the last vertex back to the first. If you do this after it's been optimized, you can just add one more vertex at the end and then do the add blank span as an individual step before you save it. Doing an optimize is actually a bunch of things done in a specific order. It first strips the art and then adds the velocity points.

    All software has a learning curve usually proportional to its capabilities and unique features. Pointing with a mouse is in no way easier than tapping a key.

    It would be nice to have the software do it automatically when requested.

    Totally!

    I recently added a wav clip feature for making still frames that can be used in PureData.

    Wave clip feature? Trying to avoid the wav step...

    Yes. I understand what you suggested. I'm just saying I recently added a similar feature for someone who uses PD. He loads a clip into a data stream object. It's pretty cool what PD does.

    I just loaded it up and it was flickery, but scanned and looked correct on pangolin 506's at 25 degrees pretty wide. Tried to grab a picture but by phone shutter is way to fast and you just get bits.

    Basically at 30K it will do 15FPS, 40K 20FPS, 50K 25FPS the later scan rates looked pretty good. I didn't want to ask more of the scanners even at a smaller scan angle. I assume 60K would deliver 30FPS

    I was poking around in the code and changed some stuff, but haven't added any new features yet, so adding a bridge to the end of a frame to be saved as optimized ilda is pretty cool. If anyone on here has a Mac and wants to help me update the Mac build instructions that would be great.

    Do you have a way to convert this into dxf v12, so that it is POLYLINE?

    I tried a couple of free online converters and I get nothing. The dxf file I get has no ENTITES sections at all.
    BTW, how did you get past this problem and create your rendering?
