Inkscape is an open source program for editing vector graphics, and is therefore very relevant for creating simple design files for e.g. the Laser Cutter and the Water Jet Cutter. However, there are some pitfalls when designing for CNC machines, some of which seem like black magic. Some of the problems arise from the "Inkscape SVG" format, which is "almost but not quite standard .svg". This is not a comprehensive guide for using inkscape, for that you can check out the Inkscape Wiki or the internet in general.

Potential troubleshooting

SVG formats

If problems, try exporting as "plain .svg" (relevant for wazer)

Path vs. Object vs. Stroke

Cloned objects

Cloned objects will not be parsed by wazer. If you select an object, in the lower left corner it will say "clone of X" rather than "X" if it is a clone. Click Edit > Clone > Unlink Clone ("Løs opp klone" in the Norwegian version)
