Hi Guys,

I am sure that this could be something that would of interest to a fairly large section of the community.

I tend to pretty much use two or three tools and a good deal of the parameters have to be reset each time.

Yes, this would be of value. Maintaining gcode extensions is a cumbersome work. I think it would be great if you could (find a) volunteer to pick up that great task.

Hi Jurgen, 

I would love to get involved if I knew where to start. 

Any suggestions?

Here are a few links where you can find information on how to get started:

The community chat (extensions channel): https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/inkscape_extensions

The forum channel on developing extensions: https://inkscape.org/forums/extensions/

I don't have a clue what your existing skill level is, so pardon me if I'm assuming stuff, or put obvious suggestions.

Here's what you could do:

1. For the repository of the project you want to bring up to speed.
2. Get in touch with the lead developer (maybe he's waiting for a second pair of eyes)
3. Ask for help when you get stuck on one of the above sources (or first look into them, maybe your question is already documented)

It might be sufficient in the effects section to add this: 

def effect(self):
    
    ...... etc

if 'diameter' in self.default_tool.keys():
    self.default_tool['diameter'] = 30

default_tool has dictionary values.

A big thank you to all of you that chipped in.

I found that by editing the code in lines from 3080 in gcodetools.py, that issue could be resolved.
