Using Inkscape to create cut file vectors for ArcDroid for free!

[@TruckBoat]

Need to add something I just realized; I f you need a .dxf format for your project you can get it by hitting file > save as then select .dxf as file type. Sorry that took me a min to catch.

Thanks for the perfect guide , you made my day

Is it pretty self explanatory when you bring into ArcDroid on the stick?

[@TruckBoat]

Yes, when you access the file when using the ArcDroid touchscreen it will generate a g-code file, and you'll see the cut path on screen.

@@TruckBoat from there you tell it whether to cut from the outside or the inside?

[@TruckBoat]

@@Travisphoenix334 Exactly, you'll turn the ArcDroid on, press the home button, press load, select the DXF file, it'll convert the file, from there you'll see "R CUT" or "L CUT" for a simple shape. That setting will determine whether it begins the cut outside on the left of the object or the inside path to the right.

Can it then be edited in SimpleDraw, or at least ammended to?

[@TruckBoat]

I believe so, if anything you would just have to convert the .svg to .dxf in order to modify the vector

Keep the ArcDroid how to's coming, but please ditch the background noise/music. Thanks.
