dxf2gcode 'hangs' when I try to load in a dxf file

[Jack Kennedy]

it prints out the following..then just spins and hangs..doesnt render anything..

You are using DXF2GCODE

Did you try several dxf files? If it's linked to the file please attach it please ...

I tried 2 dxf files..one old one..same thing..it hangs.. I am running ubuntu 21.04..

stupid noobe me..I dont see where to attach my dxf file..geeez

[Christian Kohlöffel]

You can also try to enable the logging to file. There you might get more information at which point it’s hanging. Anyhow I guess it’s linked to your OP system. I hope your starting with the 2D mode (standard). Maybe you can try a different python version? E.g 3.6?

I didn't find anything unexpected. This could be linked to incompatible python versions. Try to use a previous version ( check README for will tested versions).

 This parameter depends on the knife that you are using. A bigger knife cannot make small corners like a smaller knife. You will simply break your knife or destroy your working piece.

i tried to install an older version of python3.5 and .6 but none available as far as I searched..

I found this--

https://sourceforge.net/p/dxf2gcode/tickets/107/

which tells me its not just a hang due to 3.7... I have the latest..3.9.. doing same thing...I looked for the raise stopIterations() in the 3 files listed..dont see ANY.. ?????

totally lost..

 

it used to work fine..

regards-- jack

SOLVED!!..

I downloaded CAELinux and installed it according to the excellent instructions..It is based on ubuntu 18.04

.. loaded in dxf2gcode and gcodesender.. both working now just fine.. CAELinux uses python 3.6.9..

I recommend CAELinux to noobies like me.. u have to jump thru some hoops with ventoy, but the directions are perfect.. no hiccups..

regards--
