Using Dxfpoint

I all !
I try to use dxfpoint dev version. All is ok.
Setting circle.
Putting them to path and execute set as dxfpoint and save shape.
After this run Path to gcode and the drilling gcode is process nice.

My exemple svg file: But I want to have the drilling done in the center of the path...
So if the path show a circle i want dxfpoint set in the center ! Or if it is a square or rectangle...set the dxfpoint to the center of the shape.

Have a you an idea ? or perhaps this will be a new good feature to add to dxfpoint ?

Happy new year ! and Have a nice day.

Hi! Happy new year!

We are going to improve dfx_points a little bit to be able to drill large holes with small mill bits. Probably they will look almost the same with orientation points. So it'll be an arrow with the text field. Just give us some time

Or may be you have some suggestions?

Ok ! I wait for !

I too am looking forward to this update. I would like the ability to set the centre of circle to the DXF point.

Many thanks for this excellent Inkscape extention

As a quick fix, you can add snapping to the center of rotation and to the sharp angles, then you can easily place the circles exact at the points. You can find useful, to press SpaceBar while draggin the object - that will create a copy of it.

thanks for the quick fix. worked well
