User Reviews

  • Hi - I have been using dxf2gcode for several months now and I am really glad I found this little jewel. I have a demand for those who wrote this code: - Would it be possible to have the default units (mm or inches) in the options ? I work in mm but at the onset the software defaults to inches. - The software inserts an M5 between shapes, just to turn the spindle back on two lines further down. Yet the M5 turns my frequency converter off. Till now I have been editing the G-code to remove the M5s but I was wondering if the M5s were a "must have" or just there for no real purpose (the spindle being definitively turned off at the end of the program). Again, thank you for sharing this piece of software. Anselm
  • Thanks. I use your G-code generator for everything on my little homebuilt CNC.
  • Maybe I am missing something but why is everything still in mm's after setting everything to inches ?
  • Thank you very much for the program under a free open source license!
  • I have been using this software for many years in combination with Librecad and an X-Carve CNC. Glad to see the program is still being maintained in 2020. I never found another free program that is solely aimed at converting dxf to gcode and works this good and easy. Thank you!
