It's up to you to decide which parts should be separate. If you redraw it Use different colors for different parts. This preparation must be done in a photo editor. You have no control how the shape is divided to parts except by tracing the shape several times in differently partially erased or recolored versions. In addition the number of generated nodes is often frightening high as you have seen. Inkscape traces even thinnest lines as filled areas, never as simple strokes. It's useless to fight with Inkscape's automatic tracing if you expect easily editable result. That means redraw it, but have the original as locked in the bottom for reference If you are unsure which image is which, the vector image (which you want to keep) will have a smooth line when you zoom way in on it where the original image (which you want to delete) will show a fuzzy/pixelated line.Trace it manually. Click on the original image and press Delete. Grab the vector image and move to the side. Close the pane using the X button at the top (shows up in a tabbed interface on MacOS).ħ) The vector image you just created is now directly on top of the original image. The image should populate above the button. Then select Update in the Trace Bitmap pane. Then click Ok on the png bitmap image import dialog.Ħ) With the image selected (dashed line should show up around borders), select Trace Bitmap from the Path menu. The border on the canvas should disappear.ĥ) Select Import from the File menu and find the image you identified above (if asked for permissions to access a folder, click Accept). Scroll down on the Document Properties pane and uncheck Show page border on the left.
On MacOS computers, select New Document to open a canvas.Ĥ) Select Document Properties from the File menu. When starting out, this should be a relatively simple image – see examples below.ģ) Open InkScape application. This will eventually be cut on the CNC Plasma Cutter. 1) Install required applications on your computerĢ) Locate and download a silhouette image of your choosing in JPEG or PNG format.
