Linux SVG Import
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2018 6:34 pm
Hello
I am still having problems importing .svg files that contain arcs into SheetCAM running under linux (Debian 9/ LMDE-3/LMDE-2). This does not happen when running under Windoze (same file works fine when booted to Windoze). I am trying to use 6.1.56. Setting the Application options/Drawing import/Arc fitting tolerance to 0 will import the drawing but the resulting Gcode doesn't have any arcs only many, many short linear moves to approximate the arc. What information do you need to track the cause of this down? This is a problem for all linuxcnc and it's derivatives users.
