Since there is more data involved with the Inkscape Bezier curve/path, even when I cleanup my nodes in Inkscape, SheetCAM will still add a node where it's software requires to approximate the Bezier curve. SheetCAM (for 2D plasma) works in X-Y coordinates and radii to support g-code, and there is no "g-code for a Bezier curve".
True Sheetcam, and all other software will interpret curves and paths the way they see fit. You'll rarely open the save file in 2 different programs and find the same number of nodes/control points. Regardless it's always best to ensure your nodes are minimized and smooth or straight before saving it. It will give you the best possible results even factoring in the added control points in Sheetcam. I also use Sheetcam so I know what you're referring to.
Great video, very useful info. Would you possibly make a video in the future about dealing with letters & cnc plasma cutting? I've used a few methods but sometimes have difficulty with inkscape in being able to cut out certain portions of letters. Thanks again for the video!
Great video, The time you spend explaining and showing exactly how the tool works is appreciated. All your videos have made Inkscape my go to for fixing and editing files.
Very instructive to watch your routine for editing nodes to improve files for cutting. Clarified several tools and techniques for me. Can save a lot of time and money and improve cut quality by going through this process before cutting. Learned the hard way. Thank you!
Glad it helped out! I actually just posted the design I was working on as a free download on my website. Feel free to check it out here: bit.ly/3KfsHEE. Thank you for watching and taking time to leave me feedback.
I'm having a hard time with the nodes i outlined a picture in inkscape with help from your videos thank you. I used a thick line and when you highlight the picture I have 2 outlines because of the thick line. I have no idea how to fix this so I only have one line of nodes.
Man duplicating the path and sending it to bottom to help keep things aligned is a great tip. Thanks im learning everyday
Happy to help!
Reeally liked all those helpful suggestions, especially using the , . [ ] symbols on the keyboard.
Always learning something in all your videos. Thanks
Thanks sir. Glad to be of help.

Thank you so much for this video. You do a very good job explaining.
So nice of you! Glad it was helpful.

Yeah I could do a video specifically on font.

Glad to hear that.
No matter how much I think I know in Inkscape, I always pick up something new from you. Thanks for the great video!
Right on, man! Love hearing that. I'm offering the design free on my website as a thank you. Feel free to download it here: bit.ly/3KfsHEE
Thank you for the videos! They help me make more sense of this program.
