SVG in basic gray palette and laser power #7

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.

What's the error you got from VB6?

The app doesn't support intensity, you'd have to add this to the function yourself.

Cheers,
-av

Version 1.2.7
(source code is extensive and always difficult to navigate, sorry for any mistakes)

  • detection of the opened SVG file (tested only by Inkscape) on the color of the object in the basic gray palette and scale (inch or mm)
  • the color of the object can be used as laser power (black / 255 = 100% power --- gray 50% / 127 = 50% power ...) with the possibility of additional changes in the Sheet (L = xxx) button right
  • G-Code export, possibility to set HW laser power (PWM), correction of coordinate notation (G0 X 1,00 to G0 X 1.00) with possibility to choose decimal places and reduction of repeating coordinates one after the other
  • export respects the scale units in which the file is open (G20 > inches and G21 > mm)
  • vertical scale adjusted for better clarity with information in which units are worked
  • attempt to repair the filling - in progress

    Version 1.2.6
  • Heavily sped up importing of large shapes

This is my latest version. Tuning is still enough, but there is no time. The latest version helped me solve my engraving intent. I hope it helps others. I can't create an installation file. To install, use a lower version SVGtoGCODESetupV1.2.6.exe and then just replace the main program SVGtoGCODE.exe
New changes:

  • adjustment of rendering during selection (faster with a lot of data)
  • index of individual lines for orientation
  • change the scale inch <> mm just by pressing the button on the ruler
  • Added classic dezign puzzle
