Title: Extracting XY coordinates from DIYLC
Post by: rubyfocus on July 25, 2024, 11:29:54 am

How can I get DIYLC to give me a list of XY coordinates for every turret on the board or otherwise be able to import the design into a CAM program like MasterCam? Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks

You would have to parse the .diy file
That's how I get the DIYLC program to parse custom .diy boards on my web site.

Any idea as to the software I could use to do this? After looking at the .diy file, I could see that it's really just an .XML file and that I might be able to parse it with something as basic as a .bat file. But that might be a bitch. Is there something out there that would be simple enough to learn that would do the job? You mentioned that you get DIYLC itself to parse the file. How would that be done?
