dxf2gcode Arc Gcode generation problem was created by giantstone
Hi, I'm trying to generate gcodes from my dxf files using dxf2gcode with drag knife.
please see the dxf file which consists of arcs and a few polylines.
output2.ngc (92 K) is the gcode generated by dxf2gcode from final_cut_pts_setx2.dxf (93 K),
output_0002.ngc (13 K) is the gcode generated by inkscape with gcode_tools (tangent knife support) from final_cut_pts_setx2.dxf (93 K),
as you can see, output_0002.ngc is much more neat,
I want to use the command line "python3 dxf2code input.dxf -e output.ngc -q " to automaticlaly generate output_0002.ngc (13 K) like gcodes,
could anyone help me to figure out how?
I appreciate your time and your help.
btw, I tried to play with the dxf2code config files, and the best result so far I have got is final_cut_pts_setx1.ngc (56 K),
which is still not good enough.
a notable difference between my inkscape gcode-tools config and the dxf2code config is that, i have
regex("G01 A","G00 A");
as additional post processor (thanks to Badger who taught me this technique)
I'm stuck.

maybe i should try another way to generate the G-code, instead of using dxf2gcode.
I generate the dxf by dxfwrite in python, from a set of cut-line coordinates.
the coordinates are then parameterised in to arcs.

Try Inkscape, it can import dxf and output gcode. If it does not import dxf, install pstoedit with
sudo apt-get install pstoedit
sudo apt-get install pstoedit

thanks for your reply, Tommy,
I tried inkscape with gcode-tools, something like this:
inkscape /home/sam/mass_test/test0/final_cut_pts_setx1.dxf --verb=ru.cnc-club.filter.gcodetools_ptg.noprefs
but it can not produce gcode automatically, and by checking the inkscape man page, i didn not find any info to output gcode directly.

I have the cut lines in python, and i can output the cut-lines into dxf/svg/png etc. format, yet I need to find a way to automatically produce a tangent_knife gcode from the cutlines. do you know how?

No, but i am sure inkscape has tangential knife as a tool in the tool selection box.
