InkScape vector cutting problem

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
