✨ NAME ✨

robocut — okay so this is the girl that talks to cutting plotters. That's it, that's the whole job description. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, the Robocut program plots or cuts SVG files on a Craft Robo or a Silhouette SD, or honestly most likely any other customer grade Graphtec cutting plotter. She's versatile, she's employed, she's booked and busy. 👑

🌸 Usage 🌸

robocut [OPTIONS...] [File]

💜 Help Options 💜

  • --help — shows a summary of the options. the girl explains herself.
  • --version — shows version information and copyright details. receipts included, periodt.
  • --show — shows all the parameters you entered plus the defaults. so you can vibe check what you actually typed before it cuts anything.

🎀 Application Options 🎀

  • -s, --no-sort — stops sorting the objects from the SVG before plotting. if you want them in the order they came in, you get them in the order they came in. no notes.
  • -t, --bb-sort — sorts the objects by bounding box, which is lowkey iconic for letters. this will cut out the inside first and then the outside. 🫶
  • --cut — shows the cutting dialogue after start. like, right away.
  • --media INT — selects the media. see the drop down box. (iykyk)
  • -g, --speed INT — the speed, and it lives between 1 and 33. that's the range, don't fight it.
  • -p, --pressure INT — the pressure, between 1 and 10. gentle or feral, your call.
  • --track-enhancing — moves three times back and forward to create a track. she's literally doing laps. 🏃‍♀️
  • --margin-top DOUBLE — defines the margin on top, in mm.
  • --margin-right DOUBLE — defines the margin on the right, in mm.

🎯 Registration Mark Options 🎯

  • -r, --reg-mark-auto — uses registration marks and finds the marks automatically. main character energy, does it herself. ✨
  • --reg-mark — uses registration marks, but you set the knife manually on top of the round mark. old school, hands on, we respect it.
  • -a, --reg-dimension-width DOUBLE — specifies the length in mm between the two horizontal marks.
  • -b, --reg-dimension-height DOUBLE — specifies the length in mm between the two vertical marks.
  • -c, --reg-origin-width DOUBLE — specifies the length in mm between the edge of the paper and the first horizontal mark.
  • -d, --reg-origin-height DOUBLE — specifies the length in mm between the edge of the paper and the first vertical mark.

🔌 Device Options 🔌

  • --usb-vendor-id INT — tries this program with other usb hardware, on your own risk. you need to convert hex to dec. not me being the caution tape bestie but like. ⚠️
  • --usb-product-id INT — may also work with other hardware; try the usb-devices program to scan your computer. go find your device, she's out there. 🔍

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

QT SVG only supports the SVG 1.2 Tiny standard, and honestly that has a limited SVG support. for example, multiline text is something that is not supported by Robocut. 💀

but bestie, the workaround is cute: you can export your text to a path, or just create each line separately. problem solved, slay. 🎀
