not a big deal but be sure to edit the file for the correct user to solve your problem. The only caveat is that i got lazy and modified the file for the root user now i have to run sudo inkscape for it to work. PU is 'PEN UP' is what you want to be at the end of the syntax. There you need to change the order in which your plotter functions while it's cutting. in that file there are plotter protocols depending on which you are using. There is a python script that runs the plotter called plotter.py (i'm pretty sure). it will at least point you in the right direction. I can tell you in more detail next time i'm in the shop. it was a while ago so i can only tell you off the top of my head what you need to do. I have a US Cutter but it is also made in China. I had the exact same problem when using inkscape with my cutter almost a year ago. Otherwise, why would it start cutting in the middle of a line? Do you remember whether you joined the new path to the original? Or you just drew the line but didn't join the nodes? Hey wait! If it cut the extra line that you drew first, that must mean that line was not connected to the original line. Maybe someone who is more familiar with these things will have some better suggestions for you. I haven't seen him in this new forum, I don't think. There was a guy who knows a lot about that particular extension, but I can't remember his name.

Would you call this a bug? If so, maybe it should be reported?

Would a simulator help with this? Could that predict when it's going to happen?

Or a button to stop cutting or pause the job, or something like that? But it kind of seems like a no brainer that the machine should have a button to raise the head. I guess you must have tried to figure out what causes the cutting head to raise? Of course I don't have any kind of machine like this. Or there might be another way to trick it, if the path order is the issue. If that's the case, you could try reversing the path. When you say it sometimes does that, have you figured out when it doesn't, why it doesn't? Is it cutting the last line that you drew first? You mean it cuts the extra line that you drew first? There might be a way to fix that. I have tried tricking the machine by adding an extra line, but the problem I have is that it sometimes cuts the extra line first, then cuts everything else
