Looks great But I think I will wait till it's a bit more stable

I'm passed that now, it's just Inkscape and RM for me, but will still use Illustrator to cut certain things, but if I loose that I won't be replacing it again, it is far too expensive.



yes i think i will have to rethink all this, it is getting very confusing

It also gets damned expensive.

am i being really slow here? i cannot see where to find the version that has this new feature.

can anyone point me to it please, my laptop has been downloading an update for ages but i dont think thats the reason i just dont seem to be able to find this new tool feature.

OMG! I just tested it out and it's AMAZING! I created a quick flourish, saved it as a .eps file and imported it into KNK Studio and cut it out!


This is going to be hugely popular! And for those of you with DM, it will work exactly the same. Just export as .eps with a bounding box and import using the pdf filter.

The only thing is that it's not a stable release yet, so you might want to wait until 0.47 is official. Since I don't use Inkscape for anything else, it didn't concern me to go ahead and test it out.

Thanks for that info, it looks promising - I will try importing into DM when I get a bit of time.

Wow Lucille, that is fantastic, I can't wait for it to become stable. Thanks for pointing it out

I have been looking at getting hold of this feature and believe me it is not as straight forward as downloading a beta copy, my advice would be wait and keep watching the video.

I'll make a video tomorrow to show where to download it and how to get it unzipped and ready to use.

[stressed]

lucille, yes the more i read the more i got confused its not like they use to do it.

you could just download as you say a development zip copy this seems to be a different format.

Sandy thanks, i will watch with interest.

think i need to sit and think about all this different software i am using for various cutters at the moment, my first love is still inkscape so may just go back to it permanently.

This is a fantastic upgrade and can't wait for it to become available. Using the new spiro feature will make things so much easier and simple to do.

Thanks Lucille for finding this

Can't you just tell us now?

[Lucille]

I have done this really quickly for people who can't wait and want to try this out.

I have added a mini tut for downloading and installing with links to my first post.

Have you watched the video tutorial for using this function? There is a link in my first post.

Thanks for testing the instructions it's good to know they work as I put them together really quickly.

[traceyjp1]

lucille i watched the video and it was really good. it is unstable but i dont mind as it is free and i am only having a play.

[stressed]
