I'm still struggling with converting SVG files to Gcode. I gave up on converting DXF files.
I Open my SVG files, exported from LibreCAD and get pretty much what I got when opening a DXF file. However, I keep going forward. The instructions online say to convert the items I want cut on my CNC machine from the SVG to Paths. I try to select the items I want to convert to Paths but when I click on anything it selects everything in my drawing.
I think, "OK, maybe I convert everything to Paths and THEN select only the items I want to be cut." That doesn't work either. When I select one item it still selects them all.
Maybe the trick is to export to SVG ONLY the items I want my CNC to cut. Is that how it works? I'll try that and see what happens.
