![]() I have no idea if you could find it, or even where you found this one. Or, you might be able to find this image that's already in a vector format - so that it would not need to be traced, because it's already a single path. It's not hard to do, it would just take some time. It would be a bit of a job, tracing this image, but I think it's your best option for a good result. In this case, I think you would get the best result by tracing "manually" using Inkscape's Pen tool. I can help you to use it, but I don't think it will give a good result. Wherever lines intersect, it tends to create sort of a knot, instead of a clean intersection. the double lines that you mentioned when i give them the stroke colour of blue stay blue and when i open the svg in k40 whisperer those double lines remain as blue vector engrave.Įven though Inkscape has a feature called Centerline Trace, which will give you the single stroked path that you need, it does not perform well with such a complex image. i do the trace bmp and this gives me a vector image, i change the fill colour of the vector to blue and when i open the svg file in k40 whisperer it opens the file showing black fill on the vector instead of blue, any advice is greatly appreciated. i suspect that there might be some form of setting that i have set wrong but i cannot find it. also i would like to add that the trace bmp feature in inkscape does a fantastic job as you can see from the svg file, the problem is that i need to set the fill colour of the svg as a vector engrave path, even though i change the fill colour to blue when i open the svg file in k40 whisperer it opens it as black a raster engrave. ![]() Hello, thank you both for your replies, yes bryn you are completely right that is what is happening the problem is that even if i change the colour of the fill to blue, when i open it in k40 whisperer the fill color turns to black and becomes a raster engrave instead of a vector engrave. ![]() It needs to be very sharp, and as big as possible (well you know, within reason). But this image is too blurry for that to work. If you have a larger and better quality image, the trick I mentioned might work. I have tried using a multiple scan option for this, but it's very tricky, and would take a long time to explain to a beginner. Of course they could be fixed, but in this complex image, it would take a good bit of work. But it tends to create sort of knot-like areas at intersections. There is a centerline trace option (if you use 1.0beta - or for an earlier version, you can install an extra extension). I'm not sure if Inkscape has something to give you the kind of results you need, for such a small and complex image. To change it to blue, just click on the blue chip in the palette (or use Fill and Stroke dialog to configure a custom color). Instead, you got 2 paths (one inside and one outside the original line in the raster image) with a black fill in between. My best guess is that you did not get a single path as a result. If you could share your SVG file we wouldn't have to guess. Or at least, whatever options you used might not. Trace bitmap might not be working exactly as you expect.
