    how to create code with inkscape

    last night i was farting around with inscape and i was checking out the different file types it puts out
    when i created , saved and opened the tex file with my editor it shows positions
    this is what ive modified to create gcode


    replace all


    ( x
    , y
    curveto g1
    lineto g1
    moveto g0
    close g0 (z retract)
    ) ;

    the z movements need to be edited in where needed ,

    i still have to figure this out a little better ,but overall it s pretty straight forward
    free alternative for someone who can t afford cad/cam ,just need to work a little for it thats all

    worked quite well with some of the bitmaps i converted to dxf then saved to tex

    heres an example , not your typical code nor completed but it works ,

    any ideas on how to space out the eob would be appreciated
