When you "put together" a text for a plotter, the goal is to transform digital text into paths or vectors that the machine can follow. Because plotters move a physical tool (like a pen or blade) along lines rather than printing dots, standard text must be specially prepared. 1. Choose the Right Font Type plotter
Plotters cannot "read" text as editable characters; they only understand geometric paths. Select your text and go to Object >
If using standard fonts, the plotter will draw or cut the perimeter of each letter. 2. Convert Text to Curves/Outlines standard text must be specially prepared.
You can use the G-code tools extension in Inkscape to convert your paths into a .nc or .ngc file.
