Hi Michael, Some CNC or other cutting machines can use text. But others can only use vector paths. Try selecting the text, and click Path menu > Union. (That will change the text to paths. However, note that it is not reversible. Make sure the text is perfect before you convert to paths.)

All best, brynn

Hi, I am new to Inkscape.

I have been trying to generate Gcode from Inkscape but not having much luck. I have a CNC machine and trying to get the Inkscape to work for gcode.

1. Help About - Inkscape 0.92 2. Create Text in the Document area. - "this is a test" 3. Select the Arrow tool and make sure you have the sizing arrow around the "this is a test" message. 4. Extensions - GCodeTools - Path to GCode - Preferences a. Set the file name, Directory b. Apply

Nothing is Generated

Thanks for any help Michael
