Hey! While using Inkscape and a 2D plotter I came across one problem which some of you might have already been faced with. Actually, I found a very old post (https://alpha.inkscape.org/vectors/www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic7fb5.html?t=13723 ) in the forum, but the solutions are not very great.

I quickly draw something in inkscape to show what I desire to be printed. The fill of each closed path hides the lines from those that are underneath. Is there any other way than using the standard Booleans here? This would be hundreds of such operations and very painful.. Exporting and do bitmap tracing in inkscape does not provide the desired accuracy (double lines etc...)

I am really hoping somebody found a nice extension or tool that can do this :)

Cheers

There are a bunch of solutions, though none directly within Inkscape.  One example is vype with the occult plugin: https://github.com/LoicGoulefert/occult
