Style -> Set % infill -- not working

[jesito]

Just deligthed with the new user interface, good work!.

A small problem: When in the Style menu, if you want to select a non standard infill percentage by pressing the "Set % Infill" button, the program allows to enter the new infill rate, but after entering it and pushing the "OK" button, it doesn't gets updated on the screen. Not sure if it is only a display problem or the new infill rate doesn't gets updated (or both).

Regards,
Jes.

Hi Jes

Just tested this in Windows; it works just fine, so it may be a Linux build thing.

Will pass it on.

Thanks

Hi Peter,
I've just tried this on a Win64 machine and you are right, the field is updated.
But there is also a flaw on the windows version: If you select an arbitrary infill (let's say 47%) the field is updated but at one of the closer internal values (2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 12.5, 16.7, 20.0, 25.0, 33.3, 50.0 and 100.0) in this case 33.3% (I would rather prefer to have a closer value like 50.0 instead).
Does this mean that one cannot choose an arbitrary value for infill?.
Is this a feature or might it be a bug?.

Thanks again.

Jes.

If you have a look at the infill extrusion width, that will be amended to end up with your required infill percentage.

So, if you select 47% and your regular extrusion width is 0.6mm, then the infill will be set to 33% and width to 0.846mm

Thanks a lot Peter, now it's clear to me.
