Inscape extension to add a Shaper Origin menu to set cut parameters

Install

cp ext/* '~/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/'

Usage

Create the shape you want to define the cut for, select it, then pick the type of cut from the menu:

Currently only dpeth in mm is supported, but adding inches would be easy.

By default Inkscape includes with drawn width of the line in the size of the object, which makes it harder to use for Shaper Origin users - you can turn that off - there's an example file in the top level of this repo, 1msq-master.svg.
