How to install dxf2gcode was created by hermann1976
Hey everyone,
Since I have increasingly noticed that there are problems with the installation of dxf2gcode under linux and I also had problems with the installation, I created a step by step installation instructions that worked for me. I performed this installation with a fresh debian 9 installation (virtualbox installation).
I cannot guarantee the functionality or damage to the system.
You use the installation guide at your own risk. Make a system backup before you start the installation!
So let´s start (copy-paste each row into terminal):
Normaly it should work.
Also attached screenshots of the pp config for plasmac.
Have fun!

Hello and Merry Christmas to all!
I'm sorry that I caused confusion with the G67 command in my description of the configuration of the post processor from dxf2gcode:
I suspect that this G command was part of the template from the standard postprocessor of dxfgcode. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly anymore.
The entry in the "Startup" field should look like this:
G64 P0.1 G40 G49 G80 G92.1 G94 (preamble)
F#<_hal[plasmac.cut-feed-rate]>
The parameter value of G64 could also be specified smaller - for example G64 P0.05
Please also remove the G90 command from the preamble line. This entry comes from the "Absolute programming" field.
Thank you.
