If you can output dxf files, Inkscape may be able to read it in and
output gcode for you. There is even a page in the linuxcnc wiki that
shows how to get gc

Hi all;
I just downloaded and installed the mdv rpm on this pclos box, and the rpm
went it except for the k-menu additions, so I have to run it from a user
terminal session until I figure out how to edit the kmenu's on pclos.
Has anyone else played with it yet?
I ran it, selected 'new' as it

Ah, got it. rotate and tilt is almost all it needs.
Is this for mental exercise or does this part have a purpose?

I think that it is non-trivial. The problem is deciding which point on
the bottom curve matches which point on the top curve (and
vice-versa). Onc

Unfortunately majority of results were talking about boat hulls, rest

I have a stand alone pyVCP application that configures a Modbus device.
I would like to have an icon and script that invokes the application.
The problem is that halrun requires the -I (interactive) option. When I
close the application, a terminal is left open with the halcmd prompt.

I'd write a small program in c or python to solve this.
You only need to solve the problem for 1/4 of the perimeter. After that,
rotate and mirror
Here are my thoughts on solving it:
- find parameteric equations for an arc of the circle in 1st quadrant and

Andy,
Thanks! I'm away for the weekend. When I get back,
I'll try what you suggested. I thought that -700 looked
a little fishy :)
Thanks again,

John is right, as on ourlathe with a W axis, this effects the Z being
drawn on the screen also.. so in the end with Z and W moves it looks
like you are machining at the end of the bar feed and not at the collet !
i dont know of any way to tell axis to not draw an axis move on the screen..
