Re: How to extract DXF files from this OpenSCAD code
I think DXF files are just 2D, though I may be mistaken.

Subject: [OpenSCAD] How to extract DXF files from this OpenSCAD code
Hello Everyone.
side note: I did try and ask this in the Libera Chat but for some reason
it booted me out and I couldn’t get back in. Apologies if you read this
again.
I am very new to OpenSCAD. As In like 1 day old. I have been watching
hours of tutorials and read quite a lot - I think my head is about to
explode with all the information I am trying to absorb. I have very little
coding/ programming experience - I have played around with Python a little
and that is it.
Anyhow, I made a parametric coffee table and just WOW! I can’t believe how
easy it was as compared to my attempts in other CAD programs but I am a
little stuck.
I have modeled it (or assume I have - remember I am still a noob) so that
each cube is a separate part of the coffee table and now I would like
export each piece as a dxf with its dimensions so that it can be used to
create a cut list or be used in a CAM program for CNC work - can anyone
advise me on how to go about this?
Thanks in advance
Here is the code:
Length = 1200;
Width = 600;
Thickness = 16;
TrimThickness = 32;
Height = 400;
LegWidth = 100;
//table top
cube([Length,Width,Thickness]);
//Leftside trim
translate([0,0,-TrimThickness])
cube([Length, Thickness,TrimThickness]);
//FrontSideTrim
translate([Length-Thickness,Thickness,-TrimThickness])
cube([Thickness, Width-Thickness*2, TrimThickness]);
//RightSideTrim
translate([0,Width-Thickness,-TrimThickness])
cube([Length, Thickness,TrimThickness]);
//BackSideTrim
translate([0,Thickness,-TrimThickness])
cube([Thickness, Width-Thickness*2, TrimThickness]);
//LeftBacklegassembly
translate([Thickness,Thickness,-Height])
cube([LegWidth, Thickness, Height]);
translate([Thickness,Thickness,-Height])
//This is the back piece which is a little shorterwidth wise to accomodate the thickness of the other leg
cube([Thickness,LegWidth-Thickness,Height]);
//RightBackLegAssembly
translate([Thickness,Width-Thickness*2,-Height])
cube([LegWidth, Thickness, Height]);
translate([Thickness,Width-LegWidth-Thickness,-Height])
//This is the back piece which is a little shorterwidth wise to accomodate the thickness of the other leg
cube([Thickness,LegWidth-Thickness,Height]);
//LeftFrontlegassembly
translate([Length-LegWidth -Thickness,Thickness,-Height])
cube([LegWidth, Thickness, Height]);
translate([Length-Thickness*2,Thickness,-Height])
//This is the back piece which is a little shorterwidth wise to accomodate the thickness of the other leg
cube([Thickness,LegWidth-Thickness,Height]);
//RightFrontLegAssembly
translate([Length-LegWidth-Thickness,Width-Thickness*2,-Height])
cube([LegWidth, Thickness, Height]);
translate([Length-Thickness*2,Width-LegWidth-Thickness,-Height])
//This is the back piece which is a little shorterwidth wise to accomodate the thickness of the other leg
cube([Thickness,LegWidth-Thickness,Height]);
//BottomShelf
translate([Thickness2,Thickness2,-Height+100])
cube([Length-Thickness4,Width-Thickness4,Thickness]);
