We know that ViewMate Pro software can be used dxf to nc converter, but perhaps you can find more alternatives. Libreoffice -headless -convert-to jpg jcsample.dxf What such dxf to nc conversion will do, is essentially crops the content of DXF file and only individual cuts for the machine remain. Libreoffice appears to work directly to either png or jpg libreoffice -headless -convert-to png jcsample.dxf The downside with inkscape is that the dxf import filter pops up a dialog to confirm the default scaling and encoding, making it not truly non-interactive: as far as I know there is not currently a way to prevent that, although there is an outstanding feature request for it (adding the -z or -without-gui switch doesn't seem to help). Or gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dJPEGQ=100 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -r100 -sOutputFile=jcsample.jpg jcsample.eps What did work for inkscape was converting to Encapsulated PostScript first inkscape -f jcsample.dxf -export-eps=jcsample.epsĪnd then converting eps to png or jpeg, for example using Ghostscript gs -sDEVICE=png16m -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sOutputFile=jcsample.png jcsample.eps inkscape -f jcsample.dxf -export-png=jcsample.png

CC3 is back to 'Command INSERT:' and my vector isnt imported. Every export option Ive tried from Inkscape gets the same result in CC3+ - Draw>Insert File> choose the DXF. Inkscape also appears to support the same functionality e.g. I even saw Loopysue just tried one from Inkscape on a whim one day and it just worked. However the result was an empty file in the first case and corrupted in the second, on the sample file that I tried - you may have better luck. Or, with explicit output dimensions, dia jcsample.dxf -s 744x1052 -e jcsample.png There are a number of vector drawing programs that support DXF files to varying degrees, and have commandline convert capabilities, including dia, inkscape, and even libreoffice.ĭia appears to support dxf input and png output e.g.
