Combining all isolation geometries into on

I would much prefer that the isolation command would create only one object containing all of the isolation passes. This way I can produce the complete CNC object in one step. My current workflow entails to join the geometries of all of the passes, delete the passes (for better plots) and then produce the CNC object and save it. Joining the geometries and deleting them afterwards feels like a waste of time. What do you guys think? Do people need to have one object per isolation pass? I have the coded the new behavior if that matters. Thanks, Patrick.

Hi Patrick, That should be an option, not mandatory. Otherwise you loose flexibility. If you want, you can add a checkbox in the GUI for automatically merging the generated isolation paths. You can go ahead and create an issue item for this enhancement. JP

It makes perfect sense. I will do so as soon as I can. Thanks, Patrick.

Hey Juan! I tried to load FlatCam.ui with the QtDesigner and I get an error saying that there is no root in the file. Maybe it would be easier if you create the checkbox for me. Thanks, Patrick.
