Optimising SVGs for Pen Plotting in DrawingBotV3!

[@mansural-khalidabusaif5965]

I'm in love with your channel! Thank so much for all this information!😊

[@drawingbotv3]

Thank you

[@johannvanaerden]

Thanks so much for these feature. Exactly what I need

[@r.g1654]

Awesome thanks!

[@chanchalsakarde2768]

Amazing ❤ly ... Does it supports String Art (Thread Art) also

[@rulindachatt]

Mostly interested in the premium version of your software for this path optimization part. The SVGs I have been creating lately have a ton of redundancy to certain paths the plotter draws over and over. Is there a way with optimization to reduce these redundancies? I hope that makes sense.

[@drawingbotv3]

The path optimization will try to reduce unnecessary plotting time as much as possible. And provides merging, sorting and simplification options. It doesn't currently remove duplicate paths if that's what you mean, as DrawingBotV3 own algorithms don't leave any duplicates, I can see how this feature could be useful for the SVG Converter though, if that's what you mean? There is a little more detail about the Path Optimisation here: docs.drawingbotv3.com/en/latest/exportsettings.html#path-optimisation

How can I use this with something like the "Silhouette Cameo" machine ? I am interested in the "path optimization" feature to reduce drawing time. I would pay up to $100 to have that time saving feature on a "Silhouette Cameo"! Thanks for the easy and clear instructions\explanations.

[@drawingbotv3]

Good Question, I haven't ever specifically tested a Silhoutte Cameo myself, however if can plot SVG files then absolutely you can use this optimization feature, as any SVG outputted from this will be fully compatible with other software! If you the files you wish to optimize are not SVG format you may need to look into ways to convert them to SVG before importing them into DBV3.

its attractive for inkscape .? or its only svg converter then we need to use inkscape to convert G code ?

[@drawingbotv3]

Yes it is fully compatible with Inkscape SVGs and DrawingBotV3 can also output GCode for you also, as well as SVG and Image Formats and some others!
