Application examples

Multiple file loading
Adjusting pen-width via Z axis
Adjusting pen-width via S value
Fiducial correction via probing

Multiple file loading:

• SVG-Icons downloaded from https://linea.io/ and unzipped.
• Select some files and drag & drop them on the GRBL-Plotter icon or drag & drop on the 2D-view area of the already open program.
• Files will be loaded in unknown order, imported with given options and arranged as defined.
• Each file content will be surrounded by a "collection" tag, to be selectable

Adjusting pen-width via Z axis:

• Generate SVG with variable pen-width: https://grbl-plotter.de/plotterfun-width/
• Do the needed settings in GRBL-Plotter
• "Copy SVG to clipboard" and paste it. Or save the SVG and open it in GRBL-Plotter

Adjusting pen-width via S value:

• Generate SVG with variable pen-width: https://grbl-plotter.de/plotterfun-width/
• Do the needed settings in GRBL-Plotter
• "Copy SVG to clipboard" and paste it. Or save the SVG and open it in GRBL-Plotter

Fiducial correction via probing:

• Insert fiducial markers into your graphic, by adding them into a layer called 'fiducials' or name the graphic object 'fiducial'. Example: graphic
  Key word is set in [Setup - Program behavior - Camera - Fiducials].
• After importing the graphic, the fiducial coordinates are listed in the probe-window 'Fiducial correction'.
• Place metal fiducials markers (coins, washers) onto your workpiece.
• To make starting easier, move the probe over the first reference point to trigger already. If indicator doesn't work, perhaps an old grbl version (before 1.1) is in use.
• Press 'Start'.

Note: Offset between probe and tool must be teached first:

• Perform 'Center finder' on metal fiducial - probe work coordinate will be set to 0;0 at the center of the fiducial.
• Move the tool (pen) exactly to the center of the fiducial.
• Take over the moved distance as offset (press button 'Get pos.').
