Generates and adds dovetails to your SBP format toolpath.
This app is very simple JavaScript/HTML that runs locally in your browser. Tested in Mozilla & Chrome - probably won't work in IE.
Allows you to select a local sbp file, select which toolpath are the line segments are the dovetail baselines and generate the sbp code necessary for cutting them.
To Use:
-
Open the index.html file in your browser
-
Click the 'Browse...' button and select a sbp (ShopBot Toolpath) file
-
Select the toolpath the has the guide vectors for the dovetail slots
-
Enter the parameters for generating the dovetail geometry
-
Click 'Update Preview' to see the generated geometry
-
Click 'Generate SBP' to create a the output file
Note that the output file will replace the guide vector toolpath selected in step 3 with the sbp commands for creating the dovetail geometry.

For info on the sbp language and file format see: http://www.opensbp.com/
The three.js library is required for generating the backplot for the sbp. jQuery is also in there but will probably be pulled out to simplify things and reduce dependencies.
