Package: dxf2gcode Version: 20170925-4 Severity: wishlist DXF files may contain hints about their measurement units, or they may be abstract numbers. dxf2code tries to guess but if it finds no information either way, it defaults to mm.
Some files contain numbers in inches (e.g. in my case, the dxf resultant output from https://cloudconvert.com/svg-to-dxf). Loading these into dxf2code results in shapes that are too small. While this can be corrected by applying a "Scale All" factor of 25.4, it would be nicer if the units could be specified; e.g. $ dxf2code --inches output.dxf -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dxf2gcode depends on: ii poppler-utils 0.63.0-2 ii pstoedit 3.73-1+b1 ii python3 3.6.5-3 ii python3-opengl 3.1.0+dfsg-2 ii python3-pyqt5 5.11.2+dfsg-1+b1 dxf2gcode recommends no packages. dxf2gcode suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list debian-science-maintainers@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
