Animation and time calculations 60x too fast?

I noticed in release 4.0 that the animation is insanely fast, and comments in the G-code are really small. Ex:

; ending pocket op after 19 seconds

They seem to be about 60x smaller than they should be, as if the calculations are in seconds instead of minutes.

A minor thing for sure, but wanted to let you know.

I didn’t do anything to increase the animation speed. Although I did upgrade the ThreeJS engine. Depending on your HW and OS, that could play a role. It’s entirely possible the estimation is off by some factor. I’ll check the code. Thanks

Thanks!

I am not sure I have ever validated the speeds and times shown in the G-code before now so KM may have been like this for a long time.

My not blazing fast computer does a clearing layer, involving 64 corners and about 2000 mm of travel in about 2 seconds. By comparison, I ran the KM G-code through Camotics and it shows an estimated time of just over a minute for that same layer.

the animation in browser is not meant to be “real time”

OK, knowing 1x isn’t referring to clock time makes more sense.

But what about the ; ending pocket op after 19 seconds?

It’s off by a factor which I need to figure out and correct

Thanks, not a big deal but a reasonably accurate estimated cut time is certainly a nice to have thing
