qsketchmetric 1.7.2

Python 2D parametric DXF rendering engine.

QSketchMetric is a Python 2D parametric DXF CAD rendering engine. Parametrization is done using QCAD Professional software

⚡️ Quickstart

from qsketchmetric.renderer import Renderer
from ezdxf import new
from ezdxf import units

output_dxf = new()
output_dxf.units = units.MM

input_parametric_dxf_path = 'tutorial.dxf'
input_variables = {"h": 50}

renderer = Renderer(input_parametric_dxf_path, output_dxf,
                    variables=input_variables)
renderer.render()

output_dxf.saveas('tutorial_rendered.dxf')

⚙️ Installation

The most common case is the installation by pip package manager:

  pip install qsketchmetric

📐 DXF Parametrization

Parametrization is done using QCAD Professional software. You can download the free trial version of the software and use it for parametrization of your DXF files. We need to use it because it is the only software that supports adding custom data to DXF entities. See docs to learn more...

✅ QSketchMetric Validator

To verify the proper parametrization of a DXF file during parametrization process, use the QSketchMetric Validator. It is a web application that allows you to upload DXF file and check if it is properly parametrized. In the event of an error, the app will give you full debug report. Including place where the error occurred in the DXF file and the error message. See docs to learn more...

🎯 Features

• Parametric DXF rendering
• Easy dxf files parametrization using QCAD Professional software
• Explicit support for parametrization of LINE,CIRCLE,ARC, POINT entities
• Support for parametrization of LWPOLYLINE, POLYLINE, SPLINE, ELLIPSE, MTEXT, TEXT etc. entities using INSERT entity.
• Open source and daily maintained

📚 Documentation

Documentation is available at QSketchMetric docs

📈 Roadmap

Explicit support for more entities is planned in the future. If you have any suggestions, please create an issue. If you want to contribute, see How to contribute section in the documentation. I am open to any suggestions and waiting for your pull requests!
