Good afternoon all,
I'm very excited about this plugin for Inkscape, but I'm having troubles getting the gcode to function.
I'm running Inkscape's new stable 0.91 version, and the code has worked just fine in a couple of online test programs, but it fails in Mach3 at line 131 with the above error.
From other forums it looks like a problem of I/J coordinates; are they absolute or incremental? Unfortunately I have no idea. Is the Inkscape extension producing them as Incremental or Absolute? Do I need G90.1 or G91.1 code to specify what it is? Does anyone know what Mach3 is assuming they are?
Thanks so much everyone.

Re: Radius to end arc diffemrs from start - Inkscape 0.91 e
Apologies: I think this is the line in question:
G03 X61.557922 Y116.120520 Z-0.125000 I27.896798 J-42.554718
P.S. Can anyone suggest a better program to edit gcode than Wordpad/Notepad? I know IT programmers use better ones than those... No idea what though. Thanks

Well just for everyone else that might have the same problem in the future, adding a new line
G91.1
to my code did solve the problem. This sets the control to use incremental mode on the IJ references.
@Nick, is there any reason this shouldn't be specified by default by the plugin?

Sorry for the delay with the reply.
They are incremental. It is usually is default.
Highlight Gcode in Gedit #1
I have not included it because I'm not sure if g91.1 have same meaning in other than LinuxCNC cnc software...
