Thanks for the status update Mark, I hope we'll be able to see your dxf conversion code before too long. A few people have had questions regarding implementation approach that this will help address.

Good luck, Bryce

Hi all!

One of the key, oft-proven principles of Open Source development is "Release Early, Release Often". This is important because it makes it easier for other people to help you.

Michael, David, Greg, and Matthew, can each of you report in on where you are in your work, how we can help you, and what you might be able to add to CVS within the next week or so?

(Also, if you have any questions about getting access to or using CVS, please just ask and we'll get you set up.)

Thanks, Bryce

Hi,

I was making good progress and then the group that funds my PhD research said they would take away funding unless we demonstrate some specific details. Needless to say my evenings are now spent in the lab instead of coding. I was importing most common elements common to dxf and svg, and was starting work on elements that were not common. The deadline is Aug 10th for the funding, so after then I hope to hit SOC hard after the 10th and finish it up. As far as exporting from SVG to DXF, there is some coding but as I understand the finer points of the two formats there is not much more than parsing the data and then saving to a file.

I will try to make some time to release some code that can be tested for the import. However don't hold your breath...

Matt
