Thanks Windell I will follow up with email…
When starting from scratch (re-loading everything) I **was** able to draw an AxiDraw file as described.
It wasn’t until I loaded the EggBot control that I lost the ability to draw using AxiDraw.

Merry Christmas

Sorry I should have elaborated – yes I did run an EggBot drawing with eggBot control engraver enabled on the AxiDraw and the engraver did not work, tried both engravers.

Regarding the error…I am using an AxiDraw drawing using AxiDraw control on the AxiDraw.
So my statement on no longer being able to use AxiDraw after loading EggBot stands.

Running EggBot with AxiDraw did not bring on the engraver so no change.

I next tried starting from scratch by reloading InkScape, AxiDraw and EggBot testing as I went along. I think I may have identified another issue.

Loading InkScape first with AxiDraw plots with no problem.
Load EggBot and trying to plot with AxiDraw and AxiDraw control I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “axidraw.py”, line 2076, in
e.affect()
File “/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py”, line 268, in affect
self.effect()
File “axidraw.py”, line 254, in effect
self.plotDocument()
File “axidraw.py”, line 496, in plotDocument
if (not self.getDocProps()):
File “axidraw.py”, line 2066, in getDocProps
self.svgHeight = plot_utils.getLengthInches( self, ‘height’ )
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘getLengthInches’

So as soon as I load EggBot software I lose control of Axidraw.
Plotting with EggBot and EggBot control are working.
Further testing both Ostrich and Pro engravers are still not working on either AxiDraw or EggBot. (I have not returned the one as yet.)

Cheers and thanks for your help

Hi Windell I have tried the pot with no luck…and no this is not the soldering kit…Options ‘enable engraver’ checked.
A little more info, I originally purchased the wrong engraver Ostrich not pro.
I have sense received the correct engraver. I thought maybe there was a difference between them. What I’m saying is neither one worked.
