Hello peeps, I’m looking for some advice regarding a power engrave test.
I have downloaded a file, with eye pictures, which is designed for Lightburn.
I saved it as SVG and uploaded it on Meerk40t.
On Meerk40t it seems to assign the same raster power/speed on all the images.
I tried to edit 4, by assign different powers/speed manually.
Is there a way to make it work as in Lightburn, were every image should have it’s own settings?
The only way I can think to make it work in Meerk40t, is to edit 5 manually, then change the visibility of the rest of the images. burn those 5, then repeat the same process for the remaining images…Not ideal
Firstly you will need to check that each of the eyes is a separate image and they have not somehow become merged when creating the SVG. (The File node in your screen shot is closed, so we cannot tell from here.) Assuming that they are separate images…
You can create another 19 Image operations in the tree with the power and speed settings you require, and drag the image nodes from the existing Image op to the alternative image op with the appropriate power and speed settings.
If you save the file, the relationships between images and operations will be retained for the next time you open the file.
There’s a simpler way to do that: have a look at the ‘Tools - Laser-Tools - Parameter-Test’ template generator, that will exactly provide you with the things you want.
(Admittedly the text positioning is awkward, but you can easily remedy that by moving the labels around:
Hi Protopia, I can confirm that images are all separate, but i only managed to change the settings on 5 using the presets, and then changing to my own settings. Long way around I’m sure…
How would I add the other 14 settings? I haven’t seen a way of doing that. I’m still new to Meerk40t, coming from Lightburn.
Would you be able to make a short video?
Cheers
Haha…Forgot to check that section of the software…
Definitely easier, since it’s already done.
I’d still like to know as Protopia mentioned, how to assign the 19 operations. It might be useful for some other project.
Cheers
Forgive my ignorance, I’m not an expert, but shoudn’t be the clue in the word “embedded”?
I thought that’s what you do with fonts in PDF for example, just to make sure that even someone that doesn’t have that fond installed can read the document
Yeah, it’s unfortunate. I am an admin but not the developer. It is actually critical for security to “sanitize” SVGs and I’m not an expert in how to do that; I just know that it has to be done in order to display SVGs on the site. And I expect that the sanitization is conservative on the side of safety. That’s good for security and unfortunate for SVG rendering…
Most of the time, uploading an SVG file has been enough to understand problems folks are having. For example, it has been typical to have multiple coincident lines causing burning multiple times in the same place.
But for cases like this, creating a .zip file and uploading it instead is probably the best option. It won’t display, but then can be downloaded fully intact.
