The (*.zip) selection will automatically generate all of the files needed for engraving and cutting and save them to a zip fileĮditing and Existing Design for use with the Laser Draw Inkscape Extension The (*.lyz) selection will allow you to save the red,blue and black features to individual files for use with Laser Draw Select one of the two "Laser Draw LYZ" options Adjust the size of the document to match the area you want to export (You can use "File" - "Document Properties" - "Resize Page to Content" to make the page the same size as your design)Ĥ. Use BLACK to indicate raster engraving (this can be shapes, paths or images)Ģ. Use BLUE lines to indicate vector engraving. After a restart of Inkscape, the new extension will be available. The location above is the location referenced on the Inkscape page for user installed extensions.)ģ. (It will also work if you put the files in "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\share\extensions" depending on which version you have installed. You might need to resize the window that pops up to see all of the fields and entries.
Copy the individual files into the directory listed in Inkscape at "Edit" - "Preferences" - "System": "User extensions". (Right click on the link and select "Save target as" or "Save link as")Ģ. Updated to work with Inkscape 1.0 (Still works with older version also) Removed some messages that were not needed Changed limits in resolution to 100 dpi minimum and 1000 dpi maximum (if you get an out of memory error in LaserDRW try reducing the resolution) Fixed x,y translation when view box is used in SVG file for scaling Added 60 second timeout to prevent orphan processes Added option to automatically convert text to paths on export. Added handling for basic SVG shapes (circle, ellipse, rectangles, You no longer need to change shapes to paths)

Save individual files or group of files as a zip file Splits design based on color formating (red,blue) Exported files maintain scaling from Inkscape when opened with laser Draw Blue and red paths in Inkscape are saved to the LYZ file as vectors (everything else is transfered as an image)

GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. The Laser Draw Inkscape Extension is a free open source program released under the Laser Draw (LaserDRW) is a program that comes with the cheap Chinese laser cutters available on E-Bay and Amazon. Save Laser Draw (LYZ) files from Inkscape. Even without them, your extension is great.Laser Draw (LaserDRW) - Inkscape Extension One other suggestion: could there be a different speed setting when the laser is off? When there is a lot of empty space on the engraving, it can take a very long time to engrave as the laser travels quite slowly between engraving areas (I don’t have a strong laser so it moves slowly when engraving).

Allow another ‘homing’ option at the end so the operator can set a custom code (I manually change the G28 to a G00 code to bring the work area forward, as homing the bed pushes it back so that it is harder to see/access).ģ. A Z-axis setting would have to be done first to lift the laser above the material before it moves in the X and Y directionsĢ. I have Z-axis control on my engraver (it’s a modified 3D printer) and I set the Z-axis to accommodate the laser focus and also the different thicknesses of the engraved material. I have a couple of suggestions that could make it even better:ġ. I only use black/white but I have been using if for about a year now and think it’s great.
