Hello,
i’m having trouble with making a plot with my eggbot..
When i hit the plot button the folowing masage shows up:Traceback (most recent call last):
File “eggbot.py”, line
e.affect()
File “C:Program Files (x86)Inkscapeshareextensionsinkex.py”, line 215, in affect

if len( simplepath.parsePath( d ) ) == 0:

raise Exception, ‘Invalid path, no initial command.’
Exception: Invalid path, no initial command.what can i do to solve the problem?

The NetherlandsThe SVG you have seems to be invalid SVG. It has an SVG “path” element whose path data does not begin with a ‘M’ or ‘m’. It looks like you got that SVG file from somewhere other than Inkscape and it is either corrupt or invalid. You might try one of the Eggbot sample svg files first if you have not already done so,
As to fixing the broken SVG file, that would take some experience with SVG. I suppose it’s even possible that the file you have isn’t even SVG? You might contact whomever you got that file from if it is indeed supposed to be SVG.Hi Nadine,
Interesting! One (longshot) thing that you might try is saving the file in the format “Inkscape SVG” and re-opening it, to see if that helps to fix any bad paths.Is there any chance you might be willing to post a link to the file so that we can make suggestions?
