If you can output dxf files, Inkscape may be able to read it in and
output gcode for you. There is even a page in the linuxcnc wiki that
shows how to get gcode out of Inkscape.

Yes they do. It looks like it's $150 for a 12-month license.


They do mention that the student version "is unsuitable for commercial 
use", but I don't know what that means. They say it's fully functional, 
so maybe it watermarks files or something ...

Information is from this page:

[Emc-users] DraftSight for linux, free beta

[gene heskett]

Hi all;

I just downloaded and installed the mdv rpm on this pclos box, and the rpm 
went it except for the k-menu additions, so I have to run it from a user   
terminal session until I figure out how to edit the kmenu's on pclos.

Has anyone else played with it yet?

I ran it, selected 'new' as it said in the help, then went to the next 
section to try and setup a properly scaled & gridded view port for the next 
project, in this case the 8 sticks it will take to make 2 overlapping at 
the center doors for this cabinet I'm building.  Unforch, nothing in the 
Properties column on the left appears to be editable, so its not possible 
to proceed further using known dimensions for the snap to grid etc etc.

I'm a dummy I guess.  This thing isn't in english as its first language, so 
some of the terms I see in the help file are probably going to need some 
explaining here and there.

I did finally get it to take a filename in the first box, but when I 
continue to adjust other things, the filename disappears and when I get 
frustrated and quit, the project is still called NO_NAME.dwg.

I think I need to start from square one.  But, before I put a lot of effort 
into this, is there such a thing as a .dwg to .ngc converter?

Thanks everybody.

Wow, that is great news! I think that first few precedents are the
hardest part here - we should see even more apps on Linux once the ice
has started to move.

Unfortunately I am afraid that SolidWorks licence will not be cheaper
for Linux users and still will be in +10K range. Please correct me, if
I am wrong with the numbers here.

BTW does anybody know, if SolidWorks has a licence for students? And
what is approximate amount payable for that?
