New .dxf to .elmt Conversion Program (Page 7 of 8)

I don't know what you are complaining about: the drawing is perfectly converted and the scale of 1mm = 2px is also correct!
And vadoola's statement is also correct: scaling of texts and their positioning still needs to be worked on.

What texts do you want to use for the front view of the element? You know the name, the part-number and the manufacturer...

I saw these fonts size was so biggest, like size= 1298 px ....

If I divide the size of all the fonts by ~100, the appearance and positioning are quite good.

Edit: for this DXF file the fonts was so big, but I tried other DXF files and fonts seem's good.

@Andrew: The Vadoola code shown here may be of interest to you:
https://github.com/qelectrotech/new_dxf … d.rs#L1165

Let's not guess what might be wrong with the fonts, but wait for Vadoola's answer when he has looked at the dxf and the resulting element-file!

I'm also not asking why you took the additional conversion route via dwg when there is a dxf available from the supplier that can be converted directly. I achieved the perfect results I described in the post above (https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 822#p20822) - with Vadoolas latest code and without any additional scaling!
In any case, the downloaded dxf is attached to that post, too.

Lots to respond to...

The QET Forums, either this thread or creating a new one, are probably the best place for this. I do use Github Issues (https://github.com/Vadoola/dxf2elmt/issues) for tracking problems or enhancements etc., but if you make a post here, there can be a bit more discussion about it and I can make an Issue on Github, you are more then welcome to make a Github Issue as well though.

Thanks for the spreadsheet, I can take a look at it. The scaling should be in there already, but only recently and includes all the units supported by DXF. The code can be seen here: https://github.com/Vadoola/dxf2elmt/blo … od.rs#L213. Perhaps you grabbed a slightly older version of the conversion utility, because I only checked in that code a few days ago.

Now worries, I to am 'Murican, but have been living in New Zealand (where my wife is from) for a while now, that's why I'm late to the party here, I was asleep for most of this conversation.

Yeah there is still quite a bit of work to do on the text but I'm slowly chipping away at it.
There are multiple text types in DXF
    * ArcAlignedText
    * MText
    * RText
    * Text
Right now Text should be somewhat well supported, but there are issues. MText has some very early and crude support, and the other two have no support. Just looking at the screenshot you shared (without having looked at the DXF yet) I'm guessing these are regular "Text" objects.

A font size of 1298 certainly seems wrong, I'll have to do some testing on that file to see what's going on. The DXF actually stores font height in drawing units, so if the drawing defaults to inches, the text height will be stored in inches not font points. I convert between real world units and font points at the code Laurent linked above and round it to a whole number. The conversion is based on the definition of a PostScript font point where 1pt is defined as 1/72 of an inch, and in my testing so far this seems to work well.

It's certainly possible and hard to know. I'll take a closer look at the dxf and see what I can find, it might be a couple of days before I can get to it though.

good day. Even though I click on the "installation folder" to convert the dxf file, it does not open. So I created my own folder and added "binary/dxf2elmt" into it. Even though I enter the program and click on the "installation file" again with the mouse, it does not open. Can anyone help?

Hallo plc-user: what do you think about this issue? . I'm think that very strange!!!
https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectr … issues/325

@lanet: in principe the right path is  C:\users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\qet\binary\  under Windows.

BTW, if you use last 0.100-dev and my new packages of dxf2elmt of vadoola fork, you can saw a popup error if conversion DXF fail.

Best regards,

@lanet Edit: maybey ou could  share your DXF file, you want convert?

@plc-user: I'm thinking if "we" can add all the data from the config file on the log file,
later it might be useful for troubleshooting users, what do you think?

BTW, on Windows OS our users don't have the config file .... All config 'stored only in registry editor: regedit!! beurk!
