| Summary | 0002883: Contour produces wrong path depending on direction (CW vs. CCW) | ||||
| Description | Contour generates a wrong Path for the attached part. As others have found playing with the precision "fixes" the issue. As it turns out Contour and Profile generate the same wrong path if the direction is CW, and both generate the correct path if the direction is CCW. An initial guess is that due to rounding errors one edge doesn't get flipped when it should be, or vice versa. | ||||

@realthunder do you mind weighing in on this? |

When talking about CW vs. CCW, we should take the viewing direction into consideration. For CNC, we normally assumes that we are viewing against the Z+ direction. But the underlying geometry in FC may not always agree with this assumption. In fact, it is very hard to directly control the desired orientation of the underly geometry in FC, or more specifically, in OpenCascade. And it is further complicated by the existence of outer and inner wires (hole). I have a recent patch of Path.Area to deal with this. In the new Path.fromShapes(), there is a parameter called 'orientation' to control the loop direction. 0 means normal, 1 means reversed. 'Normal' orientation means CCW regarding the face/wire surface normal, and 'reversed' means CW. If you pass in shapes generated by Path.Area or Path.FeatureArea, then the face/wire surface normal is auto adjusted to point to Z+ direction. For other shapes, you'll have to adjust the surface normal yourself. You can find my further explanation at https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=20273&start=110#p172731 |

Fixed my migration to PathArea. Implemented for Contour and PathMillFace in PR 755. Similar problems may still exist for profile and profilefromedges but will be addressed by migrating those operations to PathArea as well. |
