How In Path WB can I make GCode for 2D ploting with pen on 3D printer ?
Hey guys,
I have CoreXY 3d printer and I would like to plot drawing made in Sketcher on peace of paper with pen on printer. I'v lookd
on google and YT and everybody are drilling/milling peace of metal, plastic or wood, I would like to just trace 2D drawing.
Also web artical or even better YT video would be greatly appreciated
Tnx Vido

Sliptonic himself has made something like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o9W9IVaE5U . You can see the real thing starting at 6:15.

It would be very helpful if you included the "About" information from the FreeCAD Help tab.
In any case, sometimes these settings take a couple of steps. First click on the expression symbol (fx) at the right side of the step down box and then select "Clear". After that you should be able to go back into the box and type a new number.
Editing directly never works for me. I do not know why the entry boxes in the Path WB are more difficult to use than most of FreeCAD, but the workaround is pretty straightforward.

I guess this is due to them being created from Python and not from C++.
