Text stroke color needs to be set in order to be interpreted as vector data.Īlthough text may look like strokes (depending on the font) generally standard fonts consist of outlines that are filled with a color. Text is a special kind of object usually defined by fill color. K40 Whisperer does not try to convert the filled portion of a shape to a vector path.ģ.

Only the stroke colors are interpreted as vector cut/engrave features.

Shapes/lines in SVG files have fill colors and stroke colors. Fill colors are not interpreted as vectors only the stroke colors for objects are converted to vector cut/engrave paths. The trace bitmap feature in Inkscape is located in the menu bar under “Path”-“Trace Bitmap”.Ģ. If you want to convert a raster image to vector engrave or cut paths you can use the bitmap trace feature in Inkscape to convert bitmap image to paths before sending the SVG file to K40 Whisperer. K40 Whisperer does not convert raster images to paths. If there is an image in the SVG file that contains blue or red the colors in the image are not recognized as a vector cut or engrave feature because the colored portion of an image is raster data not SVG path data. Blue and red colors in images are not converted to vectors. Here are a few of the common pitfalls that people encounter when reading SVG files into K40 Whisperer.ġ. A few people have experienced problems getting the red and blue lines to come into K40 Whisperer properly.

In K40 Whisperer the red and blue vector paths in SVG files are converted to vector cut and vector engrave paths respectively. This entry was posted in Laser, Programming and tagged k40whisperer on Augby Scorch. This information is partially encoded in the viewbox attribute which is added to the SVG file when either of these procedures are followed. These procedures will each result in an SVG file that contains the necessary information to indicate the real physical size intended for the SVG file.

Verify the “Units” are set to “mm” or “inches” in the “Custom Size” section of the “Page” Tab in the Document properties.

Change the “Scale x:” value back to the original value and press enter.

001 makes it easy to change it back in the next step.) (Increasing the value by a small number like. Change the value to another number and press enter.

On the “Page” tab locate the “Scale x:” value and note the value.

Selecting “File”-“Documents Properties”.

Open the SVG file you want to use in Inkscape V.92 or newer.

Verify the “Units” are set to “mm” or “inches” in the “Custom Size” section of the “Page” Tab in the Document properties.

Format the page size as needed (usually done by selecting “File”-“Document Properties”-“Resize page to drawing or selection”).

Select “File”-“Import” to import the SVG design you want to use.

Open a new SVG file in Inkscape V.91 or newer.

I am working toward making K40 Whisperer more flexible with respect to the file formats it will accept but until that task is completed here are a couple of procedures to make your SVG files work with K40 Whisperer. However, the information provided is sometimes incomplete. K40 Whisperer attempts to provide some guidance to assist in getting the SVG file into a format with the needed information. This error or an error indicating that the “Units not set in SVG File” is displayed when K40 Whisperer does not have enough information to conclusively determine the intended physical size of the design in the SVG file. If you are importing files from sources other than a recent version of Inkscape (v.91 or v.92) you will likely be confronted with an error indicating that the SVG scale cannot be determined (i.e. K40 Whisperer is a bit finicky about the SVG files that it will accept.
