Drilling holes with DXF2GCODE

[thomas fernando]

Hello All,

I have just started using dxf2gcode.Its a nice and useful software,but unfortunately I am unable to find the help file or a wiki for the same.Can someone please point me to one.
Specifically my doubt is on how to generate code to drill holes.Everything seems to generate a milling process viz. linear or circular interpolation.

TIA
Thomas

In my branch of the code, I added some functionality for drilling and peck drilling.

Any chance you can send or post an install package? I have been unsuccessful in building it myself.

Many thanks

You do not need to build it. Just download python and pyQt like it is described in the Wiki and it will work. Not too difficult I think, or why you need the build?

I am using it as a win32 no install executable on a machine that I do not have admin rights on. I am trying to set something up with winpython to see if I can get that to work. A no install executable is the easiest implementation on my end. The whole point is a light, powerful gcode tool that does not require a bunch of installations, etc. If I have to jump through too many hoops then I am back to it being easier to install a full blown CAM tool.

So I can run the main branch using a portable winpython install no problem. However, I get errors when I try to run you branch.

I have the same issue here. You may Need to install an additional package:

http://www.dnspython.org/

 

However TrKO, do you think you really Need the DNS package, or is there a way to life without it?

Not sure why it is needed either.  But I tried adding it. It now launches DXF2Gcode. But it crashes anytime I try to open a dxf file. So not all the way there.

[Christian Kohlöffel]

Please try the unmodified version and adding the above mentioned package.

Also prevents normal function of unmodified version. I am now not sure if I tried opening a few dxfs within winpython. But I am pretty sure I did because I checked that an opengl package was loaded in win[ython so I could try the 3d features. And I think I opened a few files with the unmodified branch.

I am running and developing under linux.  I don't recall adding any additional modules to any of the code.......so I would assume dns package was already in the code?

Otherwise I am not sure how it would have been added to my code...or why it would be needed?
