Big Y-offset problem #29

Open BCChad opened 2 years ago

BCChad commented 2 years ago

My path is set anchored in the lower-left at 0,0 x,y coordinates on the Inkscape page, and the page is set to the same size of the object. On compiling the GCode, the X coordinate is correct but the Y is off by -246mm. The computed strokes generated by your Extension appear in that position, -246mm below the bottom of the Inkscape page.

It does give a warning about omitting a non-path, which I cannot find. I selected everything and converted objects to path.

Hi Chad, can you provide the inkscape file in question for testing?

cheers

Yes, here's the file, both SVG and GCODE. I just ran it again and it again warned about omitting a non-path element. On the first attempt I got an error that didn't repeat on the second attempt. Do you have a debug setting so I can send you all of the parameters I used for generating the gcode Would You Be My Valentine WoodYou_0010.txt ?

Thanks. I tested your file with a current version of Inkscape and Lasertools and it seems to work fine. Please check if you are using Inkscape 1.x with Lasertools for Inkscape 1.x from this repo. There could also be a problem with your inkscape configuration. My page is set up like this: image

Here is the svg File after generating the gcode: 153732579-921bcfe5-467b-458f-a428-c102fe39453f

Thank you. Yes I am using version 1.1 of Inkscape. I notice there now is a 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 available - Should I upgrade to that?

I have confirmed the settings, and also the instructions you posted on the github page. I'm still getting a "Warning:omitting non-path" consistently - not sure what else is lurking in my .SVG file as I have ungrouped, selected all, and converted objects to paths.

I did discover this - if the objects are all selected, the OFFSET problem occurs (shifted down y -246). If I de-select the objects, the overlay occurs correctly on top of the text. Perhaps this finding is helpful to you.

Your instructions do say dependencies are python-lxml, python-numpy - I could not find them anywhere in the inkscape installation; where do they install?

I add a problem similar and scale in page settings was not 1.0, changing scale to 1.0 fixed the huge Y offset
