What is DXF2Gcode?

Introduction Although we aim to make DXF2GCODE work on all major platforms, we would like it if you test it on other platforms (and report the result back to us). This page tells you how to install the program on Windows and Linux Installation on Windows There are two ways to install the program on Windows: You can use the packed executable file which doesn't require any installation. Just extract the files to the folder you want Extract the source code and install a Python interpreter. A python version of at least 2.6 is recommended. The new version of DXF2GCODE has the following dependencies: Python 2.6 or higher (including 3.0 and above) PyQt4 or PyQt5 (depending if you run it in 3d mode you also need PyOpenGl) Installation on Linux There is no installer for Linux. Just put the code where ever you want and run the dxf2gcode.py (the name is dependent on the version you use) file. All files of the program should be in the same folder so Python can find the modules. Integration in EMC 2.2 and Axis (1) The executable file and all related files must be in the /usr/bin/ folder otherwise Axis can't find the file. Another method is to make a symbolic link in the /usr/bin/ folder to the executable file located in a different folder (that's how I do it, remember the name may be different depending on the version) sudo ln -s /SOMEWHERE/...../source/dxf2gcode.py /usr/bin/dxf2gcode.py To make the link executable you must type the following code sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/dxf2gcode.py (2) Change the AXIS Config File to tell the machine you want to associate all dxf files with dxf2gcode. On my machine the file is located at: home/ICH/emc2/configs/Meine-Maschine/Meine-Maschine.ini You need to change the Section FILTER to the following (maybe you want to add the Editor also):
