Help with gcode...
« on: March 21, 2013, 12:56:00 PM »
I am working on project for my son for school and i cannot get an output file in gcode...
everytime i try and turn it to gcode .ngc inkscape freezes up i don't know if it's because of how many objects
or if it's to complex i don't know but i only need it to be 100mm by 100mm just trying to engrave

the main issue is we have been trying to run this all week and weekend the the thing is due tomorrow afternoon

Thank you to anyone who can help by either turning it into gcode or explaining to me why it's not working properly

Probably need a better image than the one posted but I can get the outline engraving, minus the circles, easily enough if it's any help to you.

Sorry, but I don't think the .ngc file extension is a supported Mach3 format.  :'(

Not working i am using a different program to run the tests and the machine probably why it isn't working but when i try to get this switched to gcode through inkscape it keep freezing up because it's got to many things im guessing

Your code when put into the program won't read properly
