Using Inkscape with Cutters/Plotters Generate .gcode files true command line

    Hello inkscapers,


    I am looking for a way how to automate a proces in Inkscape. I kow that it is possible with the command line and thats also the way that I want to do it. But I dont know all the commands that I need.

    I want to generate .gcode files with an extension called “j tech photonics laser tool”
    link: jtechphotonics.com/

    Like to execute this extension, need the extension-id. Is there someone how I can figure that out?
    I looked already in the laser.py and laser.inx files, and tested a few names.
    And maybe if possible provide me with a full command that would open a .svg file and run it tru the mentioned extension and put out a .gcode file.


    inkscape -f openfile.svg --export-extension=EXTENSION-ID -e output.gcode

    Regards,
