Hello, just a question: how come the G-code is displayed in the "save as" menu, not me, can you help? thanks DK

[willievanderzwan]

hi there everything worked good until saving the g code it says the script did not return an error but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. then if I click ok it says the file can not be saved. any ideas on what may cause this?

You should go for music insted of inkscape .where audio and video are not consistant i do not trust those

Hi thank you for the video. However, I did everything you showed on the video but when I saved the file this is what read:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "unicorn.py", line 23, in <module>
from unicorn.context import GCodeContext
File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\unicorn\context.py", line 104
print line
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(line)?
then says the file could not be saved.
Any idea why is this happening.
Thank you Nilka

Okay so my problem with this extension was that my gcode only writes down straight lines in my arduino cnc plotter. I opened the .gcode file in notepad and noticed negative coordinate values (which arduino can't read). I changed all negatives with positives but then (ofcourse) the whole drawing changes. My question is: is there a way to save the gcode without negative coordinates?

Hello.
This tutorial and pluggin works to make gcode by using in a CNC or just for laser or drawing?
Thanks for the tutorial. Is very good.

Hello,
I implemented your video in exactly the same way. If I want to save in G.Code, I get this message. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your answer.
