There is no undo function, you can only reload the file

Most things worked for me :)

todo:
bugfixes
editable tool and material tables
toolbutton's.....

nice to have:
presets (at the moment i save and load it as extra config file)
better tab support (it is limited to lines and arcs longer than 10mm i think)
more pocket types and better path planning inside pockets
converting spline/bezier into arcs
maybe better INCH support
win/mac support, but this is not so easy :(

and all good idea's from outside :)

OK well, you still have something to do there

Would it be possible to add viaconstructor as a tap in Axis?
But I have no idea if this is feasible and what kind of effort this entails and if this is useful at all!

i take a short look yesterday about axis tab integration because i think i have read in the past that dxf2gcode can do that,
but i can not found it anymore.
If you have a useful link, i can try it

Cool, thanks

@all
if someone has improvement suggestions, so that it could improve your workflow or fits in at all,
I would be happy about tips / suggestions. I use the CNC also only for the hobby and have no idea what requirements are otherwise so, but would like to make it also usable for others.
sometimes it also opens me up to new approaches i had not thought of

now i can open an dxf/svg in axis, this starts viaconstructor und returns the gcode back to axis/linuxcnc :)
but i don't know how to embed the gui into axis tab's :(
  it must be possible, because pyVCP uses also pyqt5, but for what ?
