I've been looking at using QCAD at my work (a school) as we currently use 'Techsoft 2D Design' software which is pretty standard in schools in the UK but has a few problems, at least in the version we have (major one is young students, click click click and only one undo!). I like QCAD and I like that there is a community edition (which I can use at home, on my non-windows laptop)
Anyway, I've just got around to trying QCAD with our laser cutter, which is a Gravograph LS100Ex and uses a driver called 'L-Solution' but I'm not really having much luck cutting anything out.
The software we have seems to be a standard windows printer driver, which can be configured to do various things according to the colours that are sent, and I think that the techsoft software must be sending vector commands to the printer driver, but I don't think QCAD can do that, or can it? At least, the only way I can get the laser to activate is to select the rastering option. Has anybody ever used QCAD successfully with this kind of system?
also, its a bit annoying that QCAD claims that printing is only available with the Pro version after 15 mins of use.. it doesn't actually seem to be that case, since I can print just fine on my home system (3.15.5.3 CE) and also on another laptop which has the 'trial' plugins removed - I assume that this is because the 'multi-page' printing is only in the Pro version?
Please Help.
Thanks !
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
