DXF to MPC

[ncamp]

I download jlitz's sdk from the AllCW forum. Spent tonight playing with it and build a simple program to pull the lines out of a DXF file and make an MPC file.


By no means to I have a working prototype to share. No scaling, etc, and everything is hard coded, but this is not bad for 4 hours is vb express.

Only does simple lines. This is part of a panel drawing I had on my computer. It was about 7ft, x 3 ft, so half does not show up in designer.

Mr Litz did some very good work on his sdk.

It's bizzare what happens when you are bored in a hotel room.:eek:

JLitz's routines are used in CarvePic, and it will already take a DXF file and make an MPC, including scaling. He's really done some great work!

My goal was to play with the sdk and VB Express 2008. I do not plan on making a product out of it, I simply do not have the time. But I will be happy to share the code if I ever get it cleaned up.

I got polylines working as well.

I got the pattern from the free area at:

I know that a large number of objects will cause my designer to crash. Upload it and I will take a look and see if I see anything
