To answer your original question “how do I get those numbers out of RapCAD or
OpenSCAD and into a DXF or SVG?”
I took your 3d_Fingerjoint.scad file and exported it to an STL. I imported
the STL file into AutoCAD and traced a POLYLINE around the boundary of the 4
pieces and then exported a DXF file...

I've gone ahead and put in an issue w/ both OpenSCAD and RapCAD to add the ability to write out numbers from calculations to a text file --- that and some plain text would let one directly create G-Code which would allow either be a very...

... straight-line move --- how do I get those numbers out of RapCAD or OpenSCAD and into a DXF or SVG? I'm not seeing a way to get these coordinates written out to a file or to put a non-closed path into a DXF or SVG
There simply isn't a way to export an open path in a DXF from OpenSCAD --- I don't want to...
For the 2D angle there are a number of other tools to try/consider:
- Processing - Nodebox - Metapost (and its derivatives such as TikZ, Asymptote, &c.) - Maker.js -- this is oriented towards CAM
another successor tool would (eventually?) be RapCAD.
A newer tool I'm investigating is CADquery...

I also played around with railroad diagrams to make it easier to consume by humans (this is for a slight refactoring of the openscad grammar):

This only documents the grammar, not the semantics of how it’s interpreted...
I don't know where the main discussion about user-defined namespace objects
is taking place. However, there are two options for syntax.
One option is to use my_namespace::member, which avoids the use of dot
notation. A number of languages use this syntax, including C++ and Rapcad.
The other...
