    Hi Switcher,

    did you add a plot feature?

    Been a while since anyone posted on this thread, but just thought I'd say that the very first, original program seems fine, and I get a DXF file output with just a few extra lines for the rapid above job movement, but the newer versions either don't work for me, or I don't understand what Im supposed to do.

    Still, it's very very useful as I lost the file model for an engraving job that I had done for the last four or five years. The guy doing the job also lost the file, but he has the g-code in his machine so we'll be able to save it (I hope), without me having to do the model again.

    Fantastic. Thanks to all you guys cleverer than me. Which is probably most of you

    I agree the newer version's is a better user interface. But when I use it I get some strange result on the arcs.

    I Have attached two pictures to illustrate the problem. Original G code is a picture from My Cam software It is a slot opperation (engraving). And I have done this on my CNC and it looks exactly like this

    "The dxf created from the g code" picture is the result after using "convert DXF". Very strange really

    If anyone wants to look into the problem I could upload my G code file

    "The dxf created from the g code" picture was a little hard to see so I marked the lines so they are a little easier to see.

    Exactly what I found. It worked perfectly for me.

    As I said, I just had to delete the extra lines generated from the rapid above job movements, but that's not a problem.

    I'm sure thre's just something I'm either doing wrong, or something a little 'strange' in the g-code, that not being accepted.

    But Hey! It's all a massive help, and big thanks to everyone taking the time and trouble in not only building these programs, but then sharing them with us.

    Matt.

    smoregrava,

    The old program is a bare bones example just to get the code out in the public domain. The newer versions must have introduced a precision error when it calculates the center arc position.

    Default worked perfectly ...now what?

    Wayne..

    All I can say is thank you. I have been making some designs in vcarve and cut3d but I can't save them as models. your app really helps. But... now what? Do you have any links on good tutorials to get the dfx to be a solid for booleans or meshs so I can re-create the model in autocad or 3ds max(RHINO)? thanks again for your program!!

    Broms,

    Thank you. Check out Moi Solid modeler. It is written by the author of Rhino.

    wayne-

    I went in MOI. I didn't know what to look for so I tried to make the cuves into a network but it didn't do anything. I know that Rhino looks at each segment as its own curve but I don't know what rhino can do with them. Do you have a workflow to get all of the separate curve into a mesh or solid? the curves look like the shape of my cnc cut but I don't know how to connect them and create a surface for trimming or boolean. I feel I'm close but can't wrap my head around it. Can I email you the file and get your ideas? If yes, what format?

    By the way, thanks for getting back to me so quickly!!!

    Thanks again,
    broms

    Wayne,
    Thanks for the useful program for conversion. I tried using it and I am unable to find the converted file. It is not in the source directory as stated above. Where else would it go??

    Thanks again,

    Tom in PA

    Default conversion file image in rhino

    WAYNE-

    Here is what the dxf looks like from gcode to autocad to rhino. The dxf can be seen but it is a series of 1448 curve segments. I tried to join them but had no luck. Take a look and let me know what you think.

    Thanks,
    chris

    It's like making a cow out of hamburger. All the parts are there. Just don't know how to put it together.
