Setting Headers and Footers

[NickMaytum]

Hi everyone,

I am havig trouble setting up headers and footers to use instead o the default ones. I have made plain text files called footer.nc and header.nc (and tried header and footer) and put them in the same folder that my .nc files are send to after processing, am i missing something?

Thanks . Nick

Welcome to the forum!

Hhmm, I had to look up the NC file format.  Looks like a format used by CAD software, right?  Inkscape is not CAD software, and doesn't support NC.  I guess that should probably answer your question?

I'm not really clear what you're trying to do with headers and footers....especially related to CAD software.  I think of headers and footers related to text documents.....or also webpages.  But I don't think of either text docs or webpages as related to CAD. 

But if you want to use Inkscape for whatever you're doing, please explain more about that, and we'll be glad to try and help.

Isn't that a gcode file format?

Um, the Inkscape gcodetools extensions produce NGC files.  I don't know if NGC is related to NC.   I found this in my search for NC:  https://fileinfo.com/extension/nc.  It doesn't sound like the same thing to me.  But of course I'm not so technically aware.
