#INKSCAPE GCODE PRINTS ONLY A PART HOW TO#

This is no good, because there’s no negative option with this…And I can’t figure out how to get Inkscape to do it in post-process…Although, it does come into inksacpe as something I can turn into a path…The problem is, the path that it creates is the copper I want to KEEP, not REMOVE, so this is no good.

Since the plugin is expecting a path, It makes no sense since I’d be trying to turn a full blown black rectangle into a path! The whole system is running under LinuxMint 20.2.I don’t know if you can see it, but it imports as two layers, and the bottom layer is what I’m trying to train the laser on (the black). I cannot find anywhere any information on why these duplicate blocks, or the surrounding rectangle blocks are defined or produced - I have to say I am not 100% sure where they originate, (LibreOffice or Inkscape) except that I cannot see any trace of them in LibreOffice Draw (They are definitely not 'hidden' on a different layer of the LibreOffice SVG file - I checked) - so can anyone make any helpful suggestions please as to why this happens? I should explain that the reason I produce the original drawings in LibreOffice is that all other related documentation is prepared in LibreOffice, and it appeared to be perfect for what I needed because I could export an SVG file for use in Inkscape, without messing about with various conversion applications. If I edit these blocks out, and the 'duplicate' blocks mentioned above, then the file is fine and the CNC router will cut exactly what I want - but it has taken me an hour or so to edit the file, so a bit annoying to have to do. When I examine the Gcode file, these rectangles are actually indicated by a comment line (start cutting rect pathIDXXXX).

ngc file, and it is followed by Gcode for a rectangle around the hexagon - the sides of the rectangle touch the hexagon. As well as this, every 'object' on the board is surrounded by a rectangle - that is, if the drawing shows a hexagon (for example), the Gcode for the hexagon is in the. Its not every block, and there appears to be no 'pattern' to which block is duplicated that I can see. However, this file appears to have some 'oddities': almost every Gcode 'block' is duplicated - if I run the file on the router, it carefully mills the shape I drew, then goes round it again. This all appears to work fine, and I end up with a Gcode (.ngc) file. I then import this SVG file into Inkscape, and go through the usual procedure to generate a Gcode file - Object to Path, Tools Library, Orientation Points and Path to Gcode (all from the Gcode Extension). (when displayed with an image viewer - Pix in Linux) As far as I can determine, the resulting exported SVG files appear to only consist of these lines.

Basically the layout is simply a number of copper 'lands' on the board, so the drawing is just a series of lines between the lands which will be milled out.

I need to produce some printed circuit boards by etching them with the router (long story), and started by producing a drawing of what I wanted in LibreOffice Draw, and exporting it as an SVG file. I'm using the Gcode extension in Inkscape to generate Gcode files for a small CNC router, and after making loads of mistakes learning my way around (and being helped by this forum - Inkscape is brilliant for what I need) I have another issue.
