I really like openscad, and the uphill struggle with Freecad has just begun to
get easier. I had no idea that Freecad could make g code until Todd just told
me
Does Fusion 360 cam do drag knives?
One of these days I might turn this dual boot machine into a tri boot machine
that runs "hackintosh"
Then I can enjoy some of the joys of programs like these without the inherent
insecurity of Windows.

Reading PyCAM docs these issues sometimes depend of the order the lines
were created and if they form a closed path or if the lines were made from
two verticals then two horizontals then a trim command.I don't know if
dxf3gcode is sensitive to little things like this. None of the software

I found a couple of DXF files on thingiverse which I downloaded, a couple of
old librecad drawings that I have (pretty simple stuff) and tried all of those
with the same results.
Does PyCAM handle drag knives?

I've tried two coming from Freecad, both saved as "Autocad dxf", one was a
simple 2D fully constrained 20mm square and the other was the same thing padded
to a thickness of 0.254 mm.
I've tried two coming from Freecad, both saved as "Autocad dxf", one was a
simple 2D fully constrained 20mm square and the other was the same thing padded
to a thickness of 0.254 mm. I can try a dxf from another source if that is the
problem.

From:
DXF files can be complex and yours might even have problems. Can other
software import the DXF files? Try that, make a trivial change then
re-export to DXF.
The other option is PyCAM. It can generate g-code from DXF also.
Or look at the traceback and see what went wrong. There is something

As Jon said, EMC uses G-Code but many CAD programs have the ability
to export in DXF format. If you can do this, then check out:

yes it is gocde not gcode :)
thanks for the link

Funny, I never noticed that!
The website is in German but the program is in English.

There is a fellow in Germany that has come up with a DXF to gcode converter
for Linux (and Windows). I've not had a chance to try it out but it
looks promising.
Similar to what ACE is to Windows. If this works out, we may be able
to do a project
in Linux, start to finish!
