InkScape vector cutting problem: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:59, 2012 November 6

Laser Cutting engraving (ie. rasters) from Inkscape works, but cutting (ie vectors) doesn't work natively; the laser cutter goes straight to "done" without ever moving.

Found a reference somewhere that this has to do with the printer driver subsystem. (reference?)

Work-around

set stroke style width to 0.01px (or 0.2mm)
File menu, save-as, pdf
- check "convert text-to-paths"
save
open PDF file
print as usual

Validate

Should really validate that the sizes stay right when this is done. Will do as part of vernier clock. Template:TD Possum Lodge
