hi @Laukku and thanks for sharing the code , I've tried your code in actual cnc laser but I think like the TurnkeyTyranny code , need more options and modification , for example when using the cutting machine such as plasma or laser , need piercing and wait couple of time to tools (cutting device) warm up and be ready , unfortunately I'm not python expert to help you but if you add such option kindly let me know

BR

Could be done easily, as a setting in the options, I suppose. But what exactly do you want? Should every new shape be preceded by a dwell command? Do want to use this for cutting metal? On my little 40K chinese laser there's no need for any dwells before cutting, but I've seen plasma cutters do a little starting hole to get through the material.

hi @Laukku and thanks for quick reply , yes and I think it was your idea that 40 watt laser no need to be warm up for cutting , actually I made 120 watt laser machine(thanks to https://github.com/TurnkeyTyranny.) and it could cut very thin metal , it use the yougli tube which is one of the best brand in china , I've noticed that I should do piercing and wait before cutting but none of the guys who create the inkscape plugin care for this feature , I hope you guys have time to add this option thanks

hi @Laukku, I've tried to use your plugin in inkscape but noticed the G7 code not created in raster mode , I used the Inckskape .92 and all python lib is updated
