Since I am using a Dewalt 611 router that is not controllable in speed by the software, the only settings that mean anything are Safe Z, Feed and Tool Angle. The screen shot shows the settings I used for this example. You can experiment with the other setting and see what will happen in the preview. This means that if do not change the spacing but change the max size, the number of holes will not change, they will just get grouped closer together as you increase the size. I think spacing needs to be at least or slightly smaller than the max size and the measurement is from origin to origin of each hole. Anything smaller and you have to make too small of holes or too few to get it to fit and the result doesn’t have enough detail. My experience thus far is to make a halftone that is at least 400mm in one direction. This tab allows you to define the specifications of the halftone itself. Save yourself some frustration and heed this advice! Generator That aside, there seems to be an error in Halftoner that will not convert from inches to millimeters when writing the G-Code (or maybe the sender needs to know that the data is inches). I cannot tell you what a headache it was to work in inches when everything (including the X-Carve itself) is laid out in millimeters. Again, I am going to use Halftoner v1.5 for this example.
