I have imported a bmp (drag and drop on to the grid). Blur = 0, Base = 15, Border = 0.
setup = CNC (generic any linuxCNC). I use mm for the machine.
First problems:
- Base does not seem to import in mm, as the stock I have is set to 15mm Z, but the imported file does not match the 15mm of the stock.
- I am using just plain black and white image, but I cannot select the depth for the imported file. Seems the black is always set to a depth of ~0.5mm?
Second problems:
- using Trace, I never get any toolpath. I was expecting to get some paths following the black lines of the imported image, but no setting i have tried will produce any paths (the output has a scroll bar on the bottom of the grid, but just has 0 - 1). Contour outputs some paths, but that is not really a good router setting.
Any suggestions for getting Trace to output paths that follow the black lines in the imported BMP?
