Totally missed it. But looks like things stalled? Not seen much from the author on it since mid last year plus some flicking between QT and codeblocks which looks a bit confusing to me.
I did fork the git repo and got a successful compile after install the obvious QT dev stuff and freeglut3-dev. App powers up and looks super nice. But trying to load a very simple dxf (see attached) is a bust. Saved to R14 and R12 format as well. No errors on command line and nothing appears in the display. Loading the gro fonts samples works.
Using code from: github.com/grotius-cnc/QT_cadcam
off master branch. maybe there is something else I should be using?
So much potential, just not sure where its gotten to. Code looks clean and well structured. Hope it gets some legs back as it looks like it would hold an awesome spot in the 2d space.
Again, thanks for pointing me to it.
Cheers - J.

On some level I appreciate your approach, but perhaps the real answer is to pop up a box saying "your input file is rubbish at (x,y) complain to the clown who coded your CAD package."

Grotius is working on ROS and LinuxCNC implementation, so he is always around here.

It was tempting. But in many ways I am doing this so I have a free tool chain that will support me. I do think you are right that some form of notification would be a good move. So that user is aware that this file has some issues and that some automatic adjustments were made.
Cheers.
