Download the python source files: 2010-05-04-dxf2gcode_b02_source.zip Extract the files under linux using unzip, you will then need to make the files executable, from the directory where the files are, enter chmod 775 * If not installed already you will also need to install python-tk which you can do via the package manager. Take a look in the config sub-directory and edit the configuration file, change at least save_path (where the generated .ngc files will be placed) and load_path (where your .dxf files live) , you can also set other defaults in this file as well. Then, to run type "./dxf2gcode_b02.py" from the installation directory, or "./dxf2gcode_b02.py 2>/dev/null &" if you want it to run free of the terminal. Note: You can also set it up to run as a filter from within emc axis.
