[Feature Request] Show and/or Export layer #4240

Open gege2b opened 6 years ago

gege2b commented 6 years ago

Hi there

It could be useful to have the possibility to Show / Export only the current layer's Gcode/SVG/PNG/Whatever This could be done by right-click on the layer cursor in the preview window, witch would show a menu

The main usage for this feature is for peoples that wish to export 2D slices for, i.e. infographics, 2D plotter, some kind of art. I agree that Slic3r is a 3D slicing software and this kind of feature isn't really useful in this scope

cheers

This would probably be 90% ui work, for any enterprising people. Slic3r already will export a SVG of the slice.

Well, I can try to add it but the last time I messed with the UI, it took me a few hours to figure out how to add a button and two checkboxes xD

SVG Slice is good but miss the infill pattern, at least for what I plan to do ( #4213 )

Yeah I have not had time to figure out why sparse infill is crashing SVG slicing.
