ShopfloorPRO a upcoming add on for Linuxcnc

I took a look see at Dan's libarea and it has not been worked on for 5 years. I'm not sure that GPL V3 is even compatible with LinuxCNC. A pocketing routine doesn't interest me as I've only done pockets once in the last 15 years and the simple G code generators on the wiki were good enough for me. I was under the assumption that this was your code...

Good Luck

I thought libarea was just for making pockets, but I could see how it could be used to face if you define your pocket big enough. How does a pocket routine drill holes?

I already have a program that does spotting, drilling, reaming, rigid tapping, and facing that I wrote in Python. The only thing lacking is being able to open a DXF file and import the coordinates of points for the hole ops. Usually just entering in the coordinates of the holes is faster than creating a DXF file but that would be a nice addition to my program... I should quit rambling on.

The libarea is not compatible with the LinuxCNC license so it can not be included in LinuxCNC (I asked someone that knows). So that does complicate things a bit. So it really depends on what your thinking of doing. So far I'm totally confused as to what your trying to do... you and Dan are making a commercial product and want to include an outdated library in Gomoccpy? Certainly ShopfloorPRO can send it's output to LinuxCNC...
