I've tried the various extensions mentioned above, and followed your instructions carefully - regarding the 'path to Gcode' step, when you mention go to the 'path to Gcode' tab before pressing apply, Inkscape issues a warning if you don't do that, but no matter what I do, in every case, when I try to produce an output file, I get a message telling me Inkscape cannot save.
Well Guys, I much appreciate your attempts to help me, but I'm getting nowhere. Its also the final step of the process, so quite time-consuming to test each time. It would help if I could find some kind of diagnostic help to try and trace the cause of the problem - Inkscape only tells me it cannot save the GCode file - no reasons, no help, no indication why. The only thing I can see that I could do now is completely clean off one of my computers, re-install a basic Linux OS, then re-install Inkscape, but thats a very drastic step which I am reluctant to do. There is some stuff online (but nothing I could find in the Inkscape Forum, Bugs, etc), so I was following help on other sites - but they all apparently have working GCode tools - so I came to a halt. I have slowly taught myself to produce 2D drawings with it, and was very happy with the results, so then decided to transfer them to GCode - and came unstuck. I also wanted to so some simple 2D CNC stuff - such as experimenting with milling printed circuit board, and Inkscape seemed perfect for this, so that was why I started to use it. I also want (eventually) to use CAD with the machine so I have FreeCad installed. As I have been learning what to do with CNC, I have installed various things like Candle2 and UGS. (but the problem is present on 2 other 'fully-eqipped' machines). It is a basic Linux MInt installation (which I have used for many years), and almost all the normally installed applications have been removed, because on this machine I have no need of them.
#INKSCAPE GCODE OFF PRINTER PLANE SOFTWARE#
One machine is a relatively new Vivobook, which I bought to run my 'machine' software on - like my CNC machine. I do appreciate that my particular machine configuration(s) may be causing the problem. I am at a bit of dead end now - I have done things like remove and re-install Inkscape, with no luck. I was unable to find anything related to my problem, so perhaps the way to go is a bug report. I have already searched through the bug reports, with no luck.
