Post Vector Order

What determines the order in which points get plotted in vector mode? I assume it's in the SVG file itself? Is there any way to control that? I'm working on some complicated drawings that are time consuming enough without my bot trekking from one side of the page to the other unnecessarily between each line.

Any thoughts on how to streamline the plotting process?

Yes, the paths are drawn in the order in which they're listed in the SVG file. You can optimize the order a couple of ways:

OR
The Eggbot extensions for Inkscape include an optimizer:

Thanks! ANd I just saw Sandy's post about the polargraph optimizer. (https://github.com/ezheidtmann/polargraph-optimizer). I'll get cracking on those now.
