OK, a3f5aa1 should fix this for now. Please test and re-open this ticket if there are any issues. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Easily reproduced with the web instance. It works here locally with a newer version of ps2edit. Guess I need to update the container to a newer release of the distribution. If you are in a hurry you can try to run Boxes.py locally for now.

Hi Florian Thank you so much for a personal reply - much appreciated. As a non-programmer, how do I run Boxes.py locally? What do I need to do? Many thanks Colin MrCRichardsBSc, Cert.Ed.

There's https://florianfesti.github.io/boxes/html/install.html but I am not sure if it is that helpful for a Newbie.

Oh, of course you can also just generate a Postscript file and convert with pstoedit yourself or create a SVG and use Inkscape to convert to DXF.

Thank you - I assume converting the output file like this will retain the dimensional accuracy? Colin MrCRichardsBSc, Cert.Ed.

Dimensions should be fine but I added the reference for a reason. Check if it still has the 100mm. This is without the thickness of the lines - center line to center line.

Thank you for all your help on this - we really appreciate it. We managed to get an SVG file to convert accurately to DXF using CloudConverter online. Let us know when you manage to fix the bug on your site as it will be good not to have to do this extra step each time.

Hi Florian

I tried installing it locally and it opened successfully. However, the local page cannot be saved as a file in DXF format. It only provides svg, svg_Ponoko, ps, lbrn2. No DXF

BHSDT commented on July 30, 2024

Thank you. Cloud Converter has been successful in converting svg to dxf, but we are limited to 10 free uses per user. MrCRichardsBSc, Cert.Ed.

If you have the software lightburn installed on your computer, you can save the box file you generated as an lbrn2 type file in BOXES.PY, then open it with lightburn and save it as a dxf file, so that you can easily use it in AUTOCAD Edit it here. It can exceed the 10 usage limit of Cloud Converter. Thanks

That's a great hint - I am considering upgrading to lightburn next academic year, but will have to upgrade the controller hardware on our cutter to do so MrCRichardsBSc, Cert.Ed.

florianfesti commented on July 30, 2024

Oh dear! I'll try to get it back up working over the holidays. Til then youcan just create PS files and give them to ps2edit or SVG files and convert them with Inscape.
