CAMBAM Transform effects

[PeterF]

Hi

I noticed a few "transform" effects that I would like to report. All relate to version CAMBAMplus beta0.9.7f.

1. "Transform" of a whole layer: this attribute gets ignored.
2. "Transform (experimental)" of a machine operation: this behaved differently whether several rounds are needed along a path or not (DepthIncrement < TargetDepth or DepthIncrement >= TargetDepth). I wanted to translate in Y to compensate for imported DXF coordinates.
a) When DepthIncrement >= TargetDepth it transforms.
b) With DepthIncrement < TargetDepth, two tool paths were *drawn* a the transform and at half the transform (in unrotated view). The *generated G code* was transformed for the final round (Z at TargetDepth), and was not transformed at all at the first N-1 rounds (Z above TargetDepth).

As an alternative, the transform was applied at the objects of the drawing layer (multiple select, enter transform attribute). This worked very well and added to my good overall impression of CAMBAM.

I enjoy CAMBAM right since my beginning a few days ago.
