Even with the latest dxf_outlines.py I still get 106.667mm when I export and re-import the DXF. I restarted Inkscape and tried the test with the 100mm100mm.svg you uploaded earlier.

It is, however, several versions older than the latest version in the repo you linked to. I just checked, and it is the same as the dxf_outlines.py in the latest release source tarball on (except the shebang line). Ok, I searched and the only dxf_outlines.py on my machine is /usr/share/ inkscape/ extensions/ dxf_outlines. OpenSCAD also shows the rectangle as being 106.371mm on each side, so it seems that the exported DXF has the wrong size, which suggests that import is fine, but export is scaling things. To narrow down whether this was an import or export problem, I tried loading the DXF into OpenSCAD. Note that the imported rectangle is now 106.371mm on each side. Disable "Use automatic scaling to size A4", and set manual scale factor to 1.0. Import the exported DXF into the same drawing. Disable "use ROBO-Master" and "use LWPOLYLINE" (though I don't think either setting matters). Choose "Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (*.dxf)" as the format. (I don't know if either of these are necessary to reproduce)Ĥ. In Document Properties set the page size to something other than A4, and set the units to mm.

Open the DXF file in LibreCAD and check it's ok.įile:CEB Press Drawer Side.dxf This is what I got.Saving as "Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (*.dxf)" seems to scale up the drawing by about 6%.Ģ.

Select the new object Shape2DView and check it's ok.

Select a standard view (keys 1-6), which shows the face to be cut.

Follow Abe's procedure: DXF_Export_in_FreeCAD (I'd add that to see the DXF options, I had to go to Draft Workbench before).

So, what we need is a 2D drawing for the face to be cut, with DXF format. First I took these DXF files as an example: File:Trencherdxfs.zip. I think I've discovered how to get the right DXF files for cutting. The instruction say to put the files it into the. To clarify further on the DXF import/export library I had trouble with the plugin so I disabled the automatic one in preferences for FreeCAD v0.16 and I used v1.39 available here Notes: Unit selections in FreeCAD do not affect size of SVG.įreeCAD v0.16 and earlier From Abe Anderson

MJ notes - Note that this works in v16, and it works for any original sketch - or sketch generated from 3D using Shape2DView.

Now Export sketch as flattened svg via file->export.

Use Draft-> Draft to Sketch (still viewing normal to sketch plane) In Draft Workbench, go to Draft -> Shape2DView tool if you want to flatten the 3D shape.

The CNC machine can do better than the crude approximation the draft workbench gives.Īidan Williamson ( talk) 01:43, 8 December 2019 (UTC) The issue with the draft-> Shape2DView is that it doesn't produce good circles.
