Optimizing Draw Order
Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2013 6:23 pm
Hi,
I am working with a CNC vendor that uses DXF files to drive their machine. I would like to be able to optimize the draw order property in order to reduce machine time. I see that it can be done manually, but that is a time consuming process.
Is there a function or method in Qcad that will re-order entities in a block or selection (say, clockwise from the top-left)?
or
QCAM/CAD does a reasonable job of optimization, but doesn't generate DXF output. Is there an existing script that could create DXF output instead of Gcode?
Thanks!
