I have a problem. When I click 'apply' in 'Path to Ccode' a window appears with next text - 'Path to Ccode' working, please wait - and than nothing happens. So problem with Measure extension: 'Measure Path' working, please wait.
What should I do to fix it?
Win 7, Inkscape 0.92

Hi!

I'm trying to make a file for pen plotter using gcodetools.
Most of images are pretty complicated, so let's say it's just a simple shape with a wide contour and some small details inside.
Is there any way to draw it whole (ie. "what is black will be black on print")? Cutrently I'm getting only countours of the shapes, without infill.
I tried area, but 1. It takes lots of time to convert (for some reason Inkscape uses only 1 core) and 2. It breaks some inner details (expansion needed to completely fill bigget countour will turn small details into shapeless blobs).

What I'd like to achieve is 3D-printer-like style, ie. contours of filled contour drawn first, then: a) infill at constant angle or b) concentric infill (similar to area but only between previously drawn contours).

Gcodetools is a plug-in for Inkscape

Hi All,

I'm trying to use the AREA FILL functionality of this plug-in to create G-Code.

However, when I go to use this, I don't get the back and fourth pattern like the images in the instructions have.... I don't believe it's working properly.

Is there any updated tutorial on how to do this using 1.7?

The process I used was I made a simple rectangle, added some text, did a difference. Made sure object was path -- Then I used "Fill Area" tab in GCode Extension... No matter what parameters I put in, nothing seems to happen when I click Apply.

I get the errors:
Orientation points have not been defined! A default set of orientation points has been automatically added.
Cutting tool has not been defined! A default tool has been automatically added.

Then, my image has some simple spiral or zig zag pattern that isn't one that goes back and fourth like I would need.

$100 via PayPal to anyone that can help me figure this out and get multiple layer CNC going.

please contact me at healeyv3 at gmail.com if you think you can TeamViewer in and help me get this going.

Thanks!

Good job, friend!

Hi all, I wanted to say that I think this extension is still a very popular one and should be continued! I'm noticing an increase in people trying to use pen plotters nowadays and this extension is having it's own issues.
I have fixed a lot of things myself, such as changing the str(s) to s.encode and('utf8') etc etc etc.

Besides fixes I have added support for multiple pens with tool changing scripts and other additional features (extra parameters etc). But I am running into a problem with the tool changes and I hope someone can help me with this problem.

I'm using Inkscape 92.2 on a Max OSX computer with the 1.7 gcodetools extension.

What happens:
Tool change script gets applied on every path instead of on every layer.
This causes the tool change to run a lot when you have a drawing with a lot of detailed lines.. This causes wear on the machine and makes print time unnecessarily long.

If anyone knows how to fix this? Spasiba. I would be grateful.

Because I can't edit my previous post, I wanted to say that I fixed the errors I've come across in the gcodetools script. The pen plotter I've built now works flawlessly with the tool changing and rounded numbers. I might post my own edit some time somewhere on the web. I'll post an update if the new edited script becomes available. I will also correct all grammar and language errors and have added support for pen plotters in the script where you can choose for example 'Pen 1', 'Pen 2' and 'Pen 3'. Also, I will include a small tutorial file or maybe a video on how to set up the layers and how to edit the extension files to include your own settings in the extension because I think that copying in your custom gcode each time into the Inkscape file is tedious to say the least.

Hello. I Make very sample sketch on Inkscape and use Gcode tools extension and got the following error as you can see in attachment please guide me

Hi All!
Is it possible in gcodeTools to set inner or outer engraving for an object?
For example I draw a circle shape in Inkscape, and I would like to engrave it, but it's important to set where should the machine cut it with the tool.
How can I adjust it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

i have a LinuxCNC controlled styrofoam hot wire cutter machine. And i try to use gCodeTool integrated in inkscape v1.0.2.
I have project drawed in CorelDraw saved in format *.CRD.
The path cutted with hot wire is continously, but the direction of cutting is important.
Cutting is must to go from top to bottom. But when i generate g code with gcodetool, i dont know how to change the direction of cutting. Because the
default direction is opposite. I try to change in corel the zero point of project, put orientation point, and in-out point in gcodetool, but without result.
Can someone help me how to change the direction of cutting please?
Thanks Attila.

Where is current documentation ?
There are some problems with Inkscape:
- python2 eventually should still be used ? Didn''t test all versions yet.

I am looking for most basic documentation like when using a cone cutter what does it mean?
Why does documentation talk about height/diameter ratio but the tool options only have diameter?

The angle option (default tool) what does that actually mean?

It's said that you can add depth function yourself (?) But I somehow don't get it where to put such formular.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to use in and out trajectory option in default tool? I want to cut outside of the path and get exactly the shape I have.

Hi please come one can help me if know some tutorial in how use grey scale with ink?

THANKS!

PS: I have a cnc 3020 for wood etc doing all patch vector etc produce the gcode but give me other result in z deep axis like for example want cut 20mm deep and give me all strings -1 so just cut 1mm
