I have tried repeatedly to create G-code, but each time I get the same result, just a header and footer. I understand the difference between bitmap and vector images and the need to set the path correctly. I know that everything must be in one layer. Perhaps Gcodetools now works differently. I am sure that I am following the same sequence as I did before, as I am following my own written instructions.Įssentially this is a 3-stage process: (1) choose a virtual tool (2) create orientation points (3) generate G-code. Is this a known problem with v1.7 or am I doing something wrong? I would be most grateful if someone could help me, please. No G-code for the object itself is generated, just the header and footer. So v1.7 just creates a file containing a header and footer only. It creates a file which only contains a header and footer, no G-code for the object. So, in future, I shall ignore the Check for updates.Īfter using Gcodetools > Tools library, then Gcodetools > Orientation points, whenever I use Gcodetools > Path to Gcode This is misleading because according to the Russian website, v1.7 is the latest stable version.
It still says there is a newer version available. Whenever I click on Extensions > Gcodetools > Check for updates > Apply Now I see that Gcodetools v1.7 is included with Inkscape v0.92 So, I uninstalled & reinstalled Inkscape v0.92 When I went to Extensions > Gcodetools > Check for updates, it still said there is a newer version available. Notice different names Gcodetools and GCODE tools Then I still saw Extensions > Gcodetools with its sub-menu containing 11 options,īut Extensions now also included another option below Gcodetools which was GCODE tools without a submenu. I copied gcode_tools.inx & gcode_tools.py to. When I unpacked it I got gcode_tools.inx & gcode_tools.py There is a newer version of Gcodetools you can get it at: When I click on Check for updates in that drop-down menu, a pop-up window displays:
Inkscape > Extensions > Gcodetools > displays a drop-down menu containing 11 options beginning with About and ending with Tools library. Which drip-feeds Grbl to the Arduino Nano board to run the CNC 2417 machine.]Īlso, I use CAMotics 1.1.1 to check the G-code that is created by the Gcodetools extension in Inkscape.
INKSCAPE GCODE SOFTWARE WINDOWS 7
[Note - I use a Linux Kubuntu laptop to run Inkscape 0.92 and I use a Windows 7 laptop to run Grbl controller My OS is Linux Kubuntu 18.04 and I am using Inkscape 0.92 with Grbl Controller 3.6.1 I bought a CNC 2417 engraving machine kit from China, which I assembled & have got working. I hope this is the most appropriate section to post my request.
