Summary0003292: a better postprocess out as clear with linuxcnc postprocessor
DescriptionHi i added 2 more postprocessor optins
-- no-doubles

as well improved the INT out on command T D H
also got the Modal right

gives a bettter cler g-code out

TOOLTIP='''
This is a postprocessor file for the Path workbench. It is used to
take a pseudo-gcode fragment outputted by a Path object, and output
real GCode suitable for a linuxcnc 3 axis mill. This postprocessor, once placed
in the appropriate PathScripts folder, can be used directly from inside
FreeCAD, via the GUI importer or via python scripts with:

import linuxcnc_post
linuxcnc_post.export(object,"/path/to/file.ncc","")

@maxcncmaho please open a forum thread to present this to the Path community. Also please follow the instructions on how to fill out a proper ticket: https://freecadweb.org/wiki/Tracker
This one is missing full version info and a forum thread
