#INKSCAPE ARROW LNE UPDATE#

#INKSCAPE ARROW LNE CODE#

Make a second vector from the point on the arc to the arc's center point. So you have a point on the arc, and the tangent vector. So the concept of being CW or CCW is with respect to a plane normal, so I think you'll need to incorporate that. Hi Wayne, are these arcs all in the world x/y plane (the Top view's plane)?

#INKSCAPE ARROW LNE UPDATE#

Looks like this:ĮDIT: small update to select the curves when it finishes so they're all ready to export.ĮDIT2: another update to make it work with MoI v3 also, but for v3 only the start point will be shown and not direction arrows. When the command finishes it will set the curves in the geometry database in their selected order so they should be ready to export then. Pick the curves by clicking on them in the order you want, then it will show the directions and allow you to click on curves to flip any that are needed. The arrows should do a good job for showing curve direction. Hi Franz, I realized that with the new annotation arrows it should now be possible make a script to do this. > that would mark every starting point of a line or spline (to rotate with flip-command > order by clicking on them in Moi and create a flow in the desired direction with a script > It would be nice to have a function in which you could arrange the lines in the desired Is there anyone who is able to deal with this? The same script should simultaneously make ONLY the starting point visible, so that the direction can be changed afterwards with 'flip'. In this way, the curves would be ordered in a controllable way. At the same time the script creates a new style with the number 1. I would have a strategy for a script that would be valuable here:Ĭopy, delete and paste a curve by script (so that the curve is placed at the end.

Does anyone know a simple, inexpensive software where these steps are also easily possible?Ĭurves can be arranged with copy and paste!Ī display of the starting point of the curve would be valuable! Possible is order (click) and direction of lines assigned in alphacam, but this software is very expensive. Then Moi would also be very good for CNC milling in combination with other programs, because nowhere is drawing so fast as in Moi. It would be nice to have a function in which you could arrange the lines in the desired order by clicking on them in Moi and create a flow in the desired direction with a script that would mark every starting point of a line or spline (to rotate with flip-command if necessary).

A bit complicated, but it is just a hobby for me. This *.svg imported into LaserGrbl works in an optimized laser process. Here I found out after a long research how the order and direction of the lines works. Then I convert this into a *.svg in Inkscape. Since I can draw in Moi the fastest and don't want to bother with Inkscape, I draw in Moi and export the line drawing into a pdf.

It can generate a NC code from the import of a *.svg (Inkscape). The laser device works with software LaserGrbl - a Chinese toy.
