Setting layer line widths to non-cyclic values

Post by clothbot » Wed Dec 09, 2009 10:29 pm

How do I set a given layer's line-width to something other than one of the cyclic options?

I need to be able to set layer line widths to 0.003mm and 0.03mm to generate SVG files for Ponoko laser cutting.

Thanks!

Andrew.

Line widths are limited to the ones in the drop down list of QCAD.

You might be able to post process the SVG files (XML) using XSL or sed or a simple search/replace in a text editor.

Thanks for confirming. I used the "sed" approach to post-process.
