hello, sorry to bother, but i've been installing the py scripts like you said, but the menu doesn't show up in blender : it said in the txt file that it should be installed in styles_modules dir, but in blender 2.73 or 74, there is the freestyle dir, then two dirs : styles and modules, i've tried both but nothing happen.
and for the : - install "dxfWriterGUI.py" as AddOn and enable it
please could someone help me how to do that ?
thanks a lot, i've use many 3D apps since 3Dstudio but never blender, could someone help me with the correct paths and module activation, i'm dying to use it, thanks so much for the creation of this plug, it will save my laser life with 3D !!

Hi pitipulet,

did you install the "dxfWriterGUI.py" as addon and enable it? See this post how to do this.
And the addon is only visible when "dxfWriter.py" is assigned as style module in "Python scripting mode".
I've just double checked it, it does work this way with 2.74.

hmm, this is very strange... I was using 0.0.8 with Blender 2.74 all the day and had no problems. Could you send me your blend file to test?

Hi TL, thanks for this. Have you tested with latest Blender? I think freestyle has had some changes.

[TL]

yes, it still works in 2.77a... :-)
There's a warning "ID user decrement error: MAstroke_material (from '[Main]'): 0 <= 0!" inside Blender but this is a blender bug, see https://developer.blender.org/T48045

Thanks for mentioning it is just a warning message.

When any part of your mesh is outside of camera's view, nothing gets rendered. Is this a bug or something I have to change in the settings?
