MonoKrom - QtPyVCP GUI for PlasmaC and Mill

Awesome work! Thanks James!!

It's a good thing but if you can make the UI an advance laser cutter and engraving it will be better because there is no UI that is made for laser cutter and engraving in linuxcnc.

Just letting people know I am back into Monokrom Plasma.   Currently I have been reviewing code and fixing a few bugs as well as starting better interaction with Sheetcam.  I have a post processor in initial form as well as adjustments made to the qtpyvcp and UI code to more correctly transition to use its tool# versus my previous DB primary key ID based approach.

Cheers - J.

how complicated is to integrate in the GUI a postprocesor that read dxf and create the GCODE using all these hole improvements?

There is a program dxf2gcode floating around. I have never used it because usually I want to nest multiple parts which sheetcam does so easilly.
I think it can simply be done by using a filter that calls this program if a dxf is opened.

yes I saw dxf2Gcode and it seems to work well but as you mention sheetCAM does nesting and many other things better, but neigther are plasma specific and gui integrated,
I think that can be a good feature to integrate in the GUI just for the non expert using plasma, also thisintegrated postprocessor can include all these piercing and hole cut tech directly in QTplasmaC and/or Monokrome GUI
