Expected duration: 3 - 4 weeks We need a software tool that can automatically detect and process product cutouts in DXF and STP/STEP files. The goal is to identify a standard recognition cutout and apply a cut code or punch code based on file information. The tool will be used in a manufacturing workflow and must integrate smoothly with BricsCAD.
Main Functions:
- Automatically detect whether a DXF or STP/STEP file is selected. - Recognize a predefined cutout shape (see attached PDF). - Remove the cutout after applying the selected code. -Option to choose between Cut Code or Punch Code. - Automatically remove all text blocks from DXF files. - Generate a log file after each operation with errors or confirmation of success. - Allow adding a custom prefix or suffix to the code. - Extract numbers and/or letters from the file name, e.g. from “P12345Pr021” use “21”. - Option to include the full filename as the code. - Ignore the first letter “P” in filenames when present. - Fully compatible with BricsCAD.
User Interface Requirements:
- Buttons/checkboxes for: - Choose file (batch mode) - Use numbers from filename (default ON) - Use letters from filename - Use full filename - Add prefix/suffix (with text input) - Apply cut code / punch code - Show log - Open folder after generation (default ON) - Generate and open folder
Deliverables:
- Functional executable or BricsCAD plugin - Source code - User manual
We are looking for a reliable developer experienced in CAD automation (C#, Python, or Lisp) who can deliver a robust, user-friendly solution.
