Cura 15.04 had this feature but it hasn't been implemented yet after the rework, so this was a regression. I'm making this issue to put it up as a possibility for Cura's roadmap.\r\n\r\nThere are several reasons to load G-code separately, that I can think of:\r\n\r\n* Slicing with a back-end that hasn't yet been integrated in a plug-in for Cura.\r\n* When a service only provides G-code to download, rather than the original model.\r\n* Verifying that the written G-code file is actually the correct output.\r\n* Looking at which files are on a printer's SD card.\r\n\r\nIf accepted, this feature would have to keep in mind how to handle selection and having multiple objects on the platform. In Cura 15.04, pure G-code objects could not be selected and they were only visible in the layer view. I think it makes some sense to not allow combining pure G-code objects with normal models: Loading a G-code file erases any other objects from the platform, and loading any normal mesh erases any pure G-code from the platform.\r\n\r\nI'd like to hear your thoughts!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/comments/211859930","html_url":"https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/500#issuecomment-211859930","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/500","id":211859930,"user":{"login":"nallath","id":3922611,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3922611?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath","html_url":"https://github.com/nallath","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nallath/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-19T10:56:23Z","updated_at":"2016-04-19T10:56:23Z","body":"Really?
