Add DSTV/NC file import #1035

Open TheJudeAustin opened 2 years ago

TheJudeAustin commented 2 years ago

Hi,

If someone is willing to add DSTV/NC file import I would be forever grateful.

Here is the standard: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjkgtbT_dX2AhWYHjQIHXUYDVwQFnoECAUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.autodesk.com%2Fautodesk%2Fattachments%2Fautodesk%2F2056%2F8772%2F1%2FNC-DSTV-Interface.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3GqbcS9K6lVLziu5cVYTs-

I've tried forever, with ThreeJS, WebGL, etc, and I am not smart enough to do it.

Thanks, Jude

@TheJudeAustin welcome

The DSTV specification is very interesting, but contains information for large CNC based machines. JSCAD is focused on 3D printers, and therefore only related technology is considered seriously.

From looking at the specifications, some of the pieces / the operations could be simulated. Why don’t you start with some of those? Are there any alternatives, like AUTOCAD?

@TheJudeAustin there is a project that does CNC stuff https://grid.space/

What is your use-case after the import ?

That specification looks like a translation of this document.
