dxf format of the sheets #45

Is it possible to have the mendel sheets re exported as 2005 dxf format as the holes come out as 21 line cuts which drastically pushes up the price if you want to get these lasercut

Sorry but no. That is how circles are represented in OpenScad.

I don't understand your laser cut pricing model. It must be poor software driving the machine if it cuts any slower.

Look its not my software. the lasercutter is at a large cutting house based in my town. I was told that when you bring the dxf files into the calculating program looks at each cut by time and with each hole having 21 cuts it increase the cost.

If you say that it was generated in Openscad then I understand and ill go back to them and say it not possible.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this for me.
