Love the program, does exactly what I need since my CAM just won't do things right.
However, I have a problem that I believe is a bug.
I also have a request/suggestion.

Edit: removed bug report, since it was a misunderstanding on my part. My motion controller has a bug that causes rapid Z movements. The F-values produced by RapidMotion appears correct.

Now for the suggestion:

Some (dumb) CAM programs output linear movements as a large number of small sequential moves, when doing rotary milling.
I can provide example files.
Would it be possible to have an option to convert these into single lines within RapidRotary.
While technically out of scope for the application - it can cause slow execution on machines with limited data rates, so it would certainly make the file more "rapid".
The idea is that if multiple consecutive movements lie on a straight line (within some configurable precision - the last provided decimal precision, in my case 0.001mm) they can be combined into a single line.

Best regards
