Re: Maximum g-code file size?

The 90Mb file now seems to load and run just fine in the new version.
I also was able to load a 145Mb file with 7.5 million lines of code. It also seemed to work, but caused an error when I opened it in the editor. The same also appeared to prevent UCCNC from closing the file.
It opened and closed just fine if I didn't use the editor, though.
One thing I noticed was that the GPU was working pretty hard with the file loaded, even when UCCNC was idle. On my laptop with a GTX 960M, it would stay between 70% and 80% use.
I'll test tomorrow evening on my desktop when I get home and see if it's better.
I also found out that it's hard to create a g-code file with 5+ million lines of code. It takes a long time to create the toolpaths.
