I've made a script for converting combscript svg's into laserable pdf's.

To use, first you'll need to share the lasercutter dropbox with yourself. Login to dropbox with:

email: ****************
******************

Share the "combscript" folder with yourself.

Now, in combscript you can export svg:

Inline image 1

This will save "document.svg" to your downloads folder (at least in Chrome). Rename this file (so you can remember what it is).

Now drag it into the combscript/combscriptsvg folder:

Inline image 2

A corresponding pdf will automatically be created in the pdf folder which is directly laserable.

(The automatic conversion is done by someone running the "watcher.coffee" script. It watches for changed files in the combscriptsvg folder and produces the corresponding pdf. I'll leave it running on my computer for the day, but you can also run it later if you need to. Directions are in the readme.txt.)
