description: "Create RFQ-ready 2D DXF (and optional SVG preview) files from a strict, validated JSON spec derived from a natural-language design prompt. Use for sheet/plate parts (waterjet/laser/router) like mounting plates, gussets, brackets, hole patterns, and slots."

# create-dxf

Deterministically generate a **manufacturing-friendly DXF** from a small JSON spec (center-origin, explicit units). Also emits an SVG preview.

## Quick start

1) Convert prompt → JSON (see `references/spec_schema.md`).
2) Validate:

```bash
python3 scripts/create_dxf.py validate spec.json
```

3) Render:

```bash
python3 scripts/create_dxf.py render spec.json --outdir out
```

Outputs:
- `out/<name>.dxf`
- `out/<name>.svg`

## Notes

- DXF uses simple entities for compatibility: closed `LWPOLYLINE` outer profile + `CIRCLE` holes.
- Default layers are manufacturing-oriented:
  - `CUT_OUTER` (outer perimeter)
  - `CUT_INNER` (holes/slots)
  - `NOTES` (optional)
