OpenSCAD-DXF-Fixup

Fixes up DXF exported from OpenSCAD to make it easier to use services like SendCutSend, to allow for hardware insertion and bending.

• Finds circular line groups and replaces them with DXF circles
• Can merge another dxf that contains skinny rectangles, and will turn them into bend lines. The center of the rectangles on the longest axis is used to place the line.
• QCAD Support

QCAD

Currently supports circle fixup only.

Installing

Copy the OpenSCADFixup folder into your scripts folder.

Running

There is a new menu item Misc | OpenSCAD Fixup | Fixup OpenSCAD Circles which will perform circle detection and replace the OpenSCAD circles with real ones.

Python

Dependencies

Circle detection:

python3 fixup_dxf.py your_file_here.dxf

Adding bend lines:
