Re: [kicad-users] DXF Import

[Devid Spagni]

I write TTConv to speed up my work but I'm not a programmer.
Dxf2Kicad works but has many problems and should be revised thoroughly.

If you need the converter I Dxf2Kicad without graphical interface.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you for getting in touch.   I was thinking of modifying TTConv, 
but since discussing this would be off-topic I will contact you directly.

For the moment I have uploaded two zip files and a README to:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/TTConv/

This is just for Windows for the moment, but it would make sense to have 
something for Linux here too.   Other (modern) operating systems are 
outside my experience.

Regards,

Robert.

Are you saying it is more than 5M after compression?
Use gzip, bzip2, zip (all on Linux) and nobody will complain.
Seems big for a simple program. It must be full of libraries, may be you can 
separate them.

 Good idea, but it just resulted in the message You may only upload 
 files smaller than 5120K :(.   I could split the file up, but that 
 would contrary to my objective of making TTConv easier to use, so before 
 I do that I thought I would ask if anyone has a better idea than splitting.

Re: [kicad-users] DXF Import

 Regarding a Linux compilation, no-one has spoken up for one so it'll 
 take a lower priority than sorting out some of the rough edges in 
 TTConv.   However, I'm guessing that a typical actively used Linux box 
 will have Python installed and ready to use, in which case the Python 
 scripts are as good as a compiled binary file.

I believe that all Linuxes will have Python installed. A lot of system scripts 
are in Python now.
I do not believe compiling Pyhton code on Linux makes a lot of sense because of 
that.
Just send the files when you are done and we will test them.
