Minimal install for just dwg2csv usage?

Do you have a question you want to ask an existing QCAD user about QCAD and what you can do with it? Do you want to know if a particular feature exists? This is the place to ask.

Minimal install for just dwg2csv usage?

Post by JaredDavis42 » Wed Mar 20, 2024 6:16 pm

Hi,

Couple of questions on dwg2csv. (breaking the one question rule but keeping to one topic)

Is there a minimal install for just using dwg2csv in a batch operation?

Is there a way to eliminate warning messages during processing?
eg
Warning: cannot assign original handle to object "0x158"
Warning: collision with object of type: 18
Warning: new handle "0x16c"

Is the file Dwg2Csv.js available anywhere?

Thanks,

Jared

No. However, you could remove the "doc", "examples", "libraries", "themes" and "ts" folders after installation without affecting the command line tools.

Depending on your system, you can use 2>/dev/null (unices) or similar to redirect warnings to stderr (please refer to the command line documentation of your system for details).

No, this is compiled into a (proprietary) plugin.

Note that Dwg2Csv.js is just a small script (<600 lines) that heavily relies on the DWG import functionality and CAD kernel and DWG format plugin of QCAD.
