dpethes / pdo-tools-v2 Goto Github PK

(I'm using a cube example from tamasoft)

pdo-tools v1 is able to export an SVG file from the PDO 👍

However, the tabs are separate from the outline. This poses an issue when using the SVG with paper cutting machines like a cricut as they will dutifully cut out the tabs separate from the outline. SVG editing is required to join the tabs to the outline and keep a crease line (here, cube-cricut.svg).

Could pdo-tools add an option to perform this processing, to support machine cutting?

Thanks so much!

Hi, I want to package pdotools for arch linux.

wget http://satd.sk/pages/pdotools/pdotools_l64gtk.zip
unzip pdotools_l64gtk.zip 
chmod +x pdotools

Checking ldd pdotools it requires libhpdf.2.2.1:

sudo pacman -S libharu

Arch linux is now on 2.3.0 so:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libhpdf-2.3.0.so /usr/lib/libhpdf-2.2.1.so

That works (but little bit hacky, can pdotools relay on libhpdf.so?).

Getting some pdo files: (A complex one)

wget https://github.com/AchimPieters/Pepakura/blob/master/Iron%20Man%20-%20Helmet%20Mark%20VI/Iron%20Man%20-%20Helmet%20Mark%20VI%20.pdo

Trying to convert:

./pdotools Iron\ Man\ -\ Helmet\ Mark\ VI\ .pdo 

That doesn't work as pdotools doesn't work from command line, it shows a GUI (can we add command line only execution?).

GUI works as expected:

Just wondering:

• Will this repo allow to build pdotools from scratch? is it a different tool (v2)? a better tool?
• Can we add command line options? maybe ini config file ~/.pdotoolsrc?

Right now I will package as said (doing the hack to find libhpdf) but will prefer to build from scratch

pdo-tools v1 is able to handle PDO v3 files created by "Pepakura Designer 3" (and generates SVGs) wonderfully. (Thank you!)
Is it planned for v2 of pdo-tools to also handle this format? (If so, I'm assuming there will be a description file similar to doc/pdo_v2_description.txt?)

Hello! Been using PDO tools for a couple days but went to look at the source here but it seems the updates from the 2018 release are not available. Any chance they can get updated?
