First under the Preferences tab, set your location and filename where you want your generated Gcode file to be saved. And finally, Extensions>Gcodetools>Path to Gcode.Leave it set to the default =2 and its settings. Next Extensions>Gcodetools>Orientation points.You also need to add Gcode before path = M3 (start your tool spindle) and Gcode after path = M5 (stop your tool spindle) to activate your cutter. Select the Text tool on the left and click on and change the Diameter mm, feed (speed) and Penetration (depth of cut mm) as required. A grey box parameter appears by your document. I found that the only tool in the list that works for me is the Default one at the top. Now go to Extensions>Gcodetools>Tools library.Slide the other smaller one, the bitmap back onto the document in the correct place. Slide the top one to one side so you can see both and then select and delete the larger one. One is on top of the other so you can only see one of them. This adds a new object to the document, the original image plus a bitmap version of it. Next select the image in the document and go to Path>Trace Bitmap.
