QSketchMetric is a Python 2D parametric DXF CAD rendering engine. Parametrization is done using QCAD Professional software
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')
The most common case is the installation by pip package manager:
pip install qsketchmetricExamples of parametrized DXF files can be found in the examples directory. 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...
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...
