DXFtoELMT converter

Hi Ronny,

I would like to say a big THANKS to you for the accomplished work on the dxf/elmt converter.
I use it sometimes, it works mostly nice and spare me a lot of time. I hope the converter will be someday integrated in QET.
Keep on the good work!

For 2 weeks, I received a dxf file from my customer and this was generated from Inventor (3D CAD Software) and the dxf/elmt converter worked without any problem.

Now I can convert dxf to elmt directly from QCAD (dxf R15), without the need of Draftsight anymore.
Nice

Adieu Draftsight

@Karsten

I mean dxf R15 dxflib available in the options of QCAD as I choose "save as..."
this menu:

In this quick example, I just installed draftsight because all manufacturers send only binary files (DWG), you need to explode all blocks part and export to ASCII DXF format for running into DXFtoelmt converter program.

@Nuri: I get much better results with Draftsight than Qcad on DWG.

No need to open an element like you see in the video, in the taskbar you could open element editor directly by right click, but not run here with KF5 (kde plasma5).

For running plugin in QET editor menu you need download 64 bits binary program here and put in your QET home folder :

Converter not create a hotspot directly, you need to re open this element after convert with editor for build automatic hotspot, add label and terminals if you need it.

@Nuri and scorpio810:

Thanks! Now is working fine. I forgot to explode the dwg-files.
The scaling will be still an issue. I've to scale each element before converting.

Do you have any idea about a scaling ratio? I cant see any scaling adjustments in QET like in a CAD software. That will be intersting when you have to place the arragment drawings into QET...
