12) Install Inkscape.
13) Install the plugin gcodetools.
14) Extract package gcodetools into D:\Program Files
15) (x86)\Inkscape\share\extensions. Run Inkscape, and then the plugin will appear in
extensions.
16) Create a new file and a new layer.
17) Generate G-code file for a vector or a bitmap.

new vector graphic in Inkscape.
19) Import a bitmap file into Inkscape, such as JPG/PNG/TIFF/PDF and so on. Select it, and
select the Path > Trace Bitmap item. Set parameters for potrace, convert bitmap into
vector graphic, and then delete the origin bitmap.
20) Select vector, click “Ungroup” in Object menu.
21) Click “Path->Stroke to Path”. Click “Path->Object to Path”.
22) Choose Extensions > Gcodetools, and then select Orientation points... > 3-points mode,
click apply.
23) Choose Extensions > Gcodetools, and then select tool library… > Lathe cutter, click apply.
24) Choose Extensions > Gcodetools, and then select Path to gcode..., set
tolerance/maximum depth/Z-axis parameters/file name and path of G-code file, click
apply.
25) Rename the G-code file, change suffix from *.gcode to *.cnc， open the file with a text
editor and check it. Set the starting position of Z-axis to Z15.0, working position to Z35.0,
F code value to F100.0-F20000.0. After checking you can open the file with GRemote and
start drawing.
