SVG in basic gray palette and laser power

Hi,
I tried to open an SVG to GCODE project in VB6 and it doesn't work. I'm not sure if the source is complete. I want to modify SVG (inkscape) in basic gray colors (gray 50%> laser 50% ...) and adjust the laser intensity accordingly.

Automatic export when source file changes

Hello.

There are many small things to improve in this wonderful program...

• Output in G21 (mm)
• Use . as decimal separator instead of ,
• offset output so that lowest left corner is at 0,0
• set default S value
• stop putting "M62 P0" - bCNC does not like it..

So I made a C# program that reads SVG-to-GCode generated file and corrects all these little things, so I would no bother you!

However, there is one thing I can´t do it with my program...

A checkbox that enables "Automatic Convert"
My C# program has one! Here´s how it works:

When the checkbox is checked, my C# program will

• read the source file´s "last written date"
• start a 1second timer

When the checkbox is unchecked, my C# program will stop the timer.

At the timer function, it reads the source file´s "last written date" and compares.
If the file has changed, it rebuilds.

This helps to make a workflow:
When I save a file in Inkscape...
SVG-to-GCode will notice file has changed and automatically reconvert.
My C# program will notice file has changed, "fix" it, and save to another file.
bCNC will notice file has changed and prompt to read again (it does!)

A few last words:
I did a timer because I´m lazy. I should use a notification... shame on me!

In the Export dialog (where there is the "Export Now" button) there could be an option of Rotation (0, 90, 180, 270) so that rotation will also be done automatically, and not because user pressed the "Rotate 90" button.

It would also be nice to have Xmirror and Ymirror..

Thank you

convert inch to mm

hello
i use your soft realese 1.2.4 and i have two questions:

• what do you use software to compile exe (visual basic 5/6/2010...) ?
• i create a svg file in mm and when i create gcode file it stay in inch

so nice job
best regard

Output might produce scientific notation

Right now, the app can output instructions like:

G1 X3.56065 Y8E-05

…which is interpreted as an E instruction. It causes the cutter software to throw an error.

I can't easily test this, but I think we can fix it by using Format() instead of Round() in SVGParse.bas.

I doesn't work in wine :/

Unfortunately I've tried, but after complaining it couldn't find MSVBVM60.DLL I've run run wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks and sh winetricks vb6run
now that error is gone but I get this new one, no idea what to do:

in conclusion wine is not a viable solution
