Description: # viaConstructor
        
        OpenSource CAM-Tool to generate gCode from DXF,SVG and HPGL-Files
        
        ## Known Issues:
        * beta - version
        * &gt;= Python-3.9
        * Linux-Only (there are problems with cavaliercontours and pyqt5 on Win and OS-X)
        * Splines from DXF
        * very slow on big files
        
        ## Features:
         * 3D-Preview
         * Headless-Support to generate gcode on the console
         * the preview of the milling path is generated by the original gcode data using a simple gcode-interpreter
         * the offsets are calculated internaly, no offset-support in the cnc controller is needed
         * the gcode-interpreter can be used externaly to generate thumbnails and previews
         * the dxf-reader can be used externaly to generate thumbnails and previews
         * automatic offset finder (inside/outside)
         * automatic order of multiple parts (nearest first)
         * nested parts will milled in the right order (inside parts first)
         * gCode and HPGL output
