Greetings; The inkscape program can load and display this .eps file, looking about like the photographs of the parts it will make.
However, any of the operations I would like it to, like edge detection as a first step toward the generation of the required gcode paths just sits there doing nothing for an hour or more after telling it to go do it. And while the buttons are ghosted, indicating its busy, the whole thing slowly falls off the front page of an htop session watching the system. Is there some preliminary operation I have to do to select the area to scan before the potrace like utility can do its thing? I also have all of gcodetools installed, so I have a fairly lengthy list of things that can be done under the extensions menu, but they also appear to be inoperable, but do tie the inkscape session up, requiring I do a sudo kill inkscape to stop that, but again it it using zero cpu when its hung. So I an puzzled. This is the inkscape V.48 in the 10.04.4 LTS repo's. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
