I've remade Inkscape plug-in and want to share it :).

New features in Gcodetools v1.6
  • Lathe machining
  • Engraving
  • Tools library
  • Multi-tools machining
  • Orientation system
  • Post-processing
  • other small improvements

New features in Gcodetools v 1.4:
1. Interpolate beiser curves using biarcs, not straight lines.
2. Export a number of curves.
3. Draw resulting curves.
4. Personal header / footer
5. Different scaling
6. Multy-pass cutting
7. Area cutting

The plug-in is available for downloading here:
www.cnc-club.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=35&start=0

There are English and Russian support forums.

I wonder could it be added to wiki?

Here is an example: (Blue and green curves - parts of biarc, red - straight lines, black - original path)

I think I'm blind, or stupid or smf... :unsure:
I can't manage first basic step "Log in before editing pages" :).
There's no login button or link. Search gives nothing :).
I thought may be I've logged in already. Then there's no edit button...

New version of Gcode tools has been released!
Gcode tolls ver 1.2 available here: www.cnc-club.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=35 (at the header of the thread).
What's new:
  • Curve to Gcode is Path to Gcode now according to Inkscape's naming
    • Automatic Path subdivision added.
    • Biarc interpolation tolerance added. It defines maximum distance between path and it approximation.
      If distance between path's segment and it's approximation is greater than biarc interpolation tolerance the segment will be split into two segments.
    • Maximum splitting depth added. It defines how many times path's segment can be split to reach interpolation tolerance.
    • A small optimization of traverse added.
  • Area to Gcode removed.
    • This function was buggy, it worked to slow and it's results are not editable.
  • Area inkscape is Calculate area curves now. I think this name represents the function better.
    • It becomes much more easier to work with this function: no need to convert path to dynamic offset or do additional things. Just fill in tool diameter and offset width and press apply.

Also Loft and Engraving functions are being developed. Also Loft and Engraving functions are being developed.

Version 1.2 works a little slower because subdivision needs additional calculations, but it becomes more stable and the structure of source code becomes more human readable.

Illustration of version 1.2 advantage:

Any feedback is really welcome :)!
