Hi!

The laser device works with software LaserGrbl - a Chinese toy. It can generate a NC code from the import of a *.svg (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. Then I convert this into a *.svg in Inkscape. Here I found out after a long research how the order and direction of the lines works. This *.svg imported into LaserGrbl works in an optimized laser process. A bit complicated, but it is just a hobby for me.

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). Would save a lot of work. Then Moi would also be very good for CNC milling in combination with other programs, because nowhere is drawing so fast as in Moi.

Possible is order (click) and direction of lines assigned in alphacam, but this software is very expensive. Does anyone know a simple, inexpensive software where these steps are also easily possible?

Best regards,
Franz.

New insight (20 04 28):
Curves can be arranged with copy and paste!
Then just flip and everything is ready.
A display of the starting point of the curve would be valuable!

I would have a strategy for a script that would be valuable here:
Copy, delete and paste a curve by script (so that the curve is placed at the end ... and so on). At the same time the script creates a new style with the number 1... 2 ... 3 ... (until the last curve, same color). In this way, the curves would be ordered in a controllable way. The same script should simultaneously make ONLY the starting point visible, so that the direction can be changed afterwards with "flip". And that was it.
Is there anyone who is able to deal with this?
I would like to thank you already now.
Franz
