Hi all, just a new guy starting off here.
I tried to use "image to gcode"
To take my drawings and let me cut them out.
However it seems to want to cut the full object inch by inch, not just the outline of the area i want to cut out.
Like a cookie cutter is what i want, draw a pumpkin and get a outline of it, not the full area of the pumpkin taken down to be a divit in the plastic.
Hope this is understandable,, i just want the outline.

Thanks for reading, special thanks to the guys that help and answer me.....

What program, wizard, or version of Mach are you referring to?

YOu need a raster to vector convertor. A good FREE one is INKSCAPE. It can take a raster image and do an outline tracing of the object AND save it out as a DXF file.

UNLESS you are ALREADY drawing in a program that ouputs as a DXF as an option

Then you use a CAM package to convert the Vectored drawing(DXF)  into a Gcode file. I use SHeetCam alot for simple CAM stuff. Cheap and easy to work with.

just a thought, (;-) TP

I will try everything you just said, thankyou.
