Dear developers:
Is it possible to export a gcode file in order to use a CNC laser cutter?
Best regards

Not at this time. You can export as a dxf which you may be able to convert to g-code.
I assume gcode is one of the marking features which you are hoping to implement into the Seamly project sometime, yes?
We can hope. I’d only be speculating to say yes we can add G-Code support. Besides theres a bunch of bugs I’d like to clean up first as well as adding some other more useful features before addressing this issue. I think support for lazer/ computer cutting might need further work - be it dxf or G-Code in dealing with handling element layers as to what to cut or not cut. I’ll have more to say on this when I look at repurposing the “groups” tool.
Was doing a little reading on g-code while eating lunch… another option is exporting a pattern as an svg and converting that to g-code. Also Inkscape has a g-code extension “gcodetools” to deal with g-code.
Cheers.
