Export SVG from Laserweb

Hi guys,
I use Laserweb4 to create Gcode for my Elekslaser. For this I often convert png to vector in Laserweb. It would be very nice if I could export these vector graphics. Is there a way to do this?

Not at the moment, sorry

You can use Inkscape for the conversion.

I know I can use Inkscape, but Laserweb works much better and is way easier to use.

I hope this will be implemented. I mean, everything is already there. There just needs to be a save butzon added.

@Michael_Fischer1 AFAIK LaserWeb uses potrace to do this as well as Inkscape, so there’re the same. In my opinion saving svg is not a feature to be added in Laserweb because this is not its job, but I’m not a contributor so they will decide whether to implement or not.

Hi Octavian,

do you know then what settings laserweb uses? For me the results are very different.

Regards,
Michael

@Michael_Fischer1 I don’t know, but you can also use potrace (http://potrace.sourceforge.net/)
