Is there a package or library to convert AutoCAD data into G code?
Any programming language is appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
There is a software called ABViewer that can do that, but you have to pay the licence for it:
https://br.cadsofttools.com/products/abviewer/
If you need a library for developers with G-code generation feature, please write to info@cadsofttools.com or fill in the form below. They provide examples in the following languages: C#, Delphi, C++Builder, Visual Basic, Visual C++, ASP.NET and VB.NET.
AutoCAD data on it's own means nothing. Is it a list of points and/or paths you want to export, or a list of entities from which you want to get data? Post some sample data on what you want to convert to G-code.
Fantastic question indeed,
Autocads c# plugin is very good to read entity geometry .Lisp can also save all these data in predefined text files formats
We can save data of cad in dxf and read the dxf data with c# or vb then extracting these line (or other entity information) to get geometry and GCODE is also text file
Then converting these geometry data with this if you have your custom cnc systems
Otherwise this is good
