Allows you to import an object from a directory of SVG cuts.
Simply open Blender go to Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions. If this is your first time press Allow Online Access. Search for svg cuts and press the install button.
Alternatively go to the addon's blender extensions page and drag and drop the Get Add-On Link into Blender.
See About - Blender Extensions for more details.
Install the release zip file manually in Blender. See the Blender Manual for more details.
The cuts are sorted based on filename in alphabetical order. I thus recommend starting the filename with the number of the cut in the sequence. You should zero pad the number to ensure the cuts are sorted correctly. I.e. use 001-999 instead of 1-999.
Once the plugin is installed, you can find the import option in the file menu under Import -> SVG Cuts Directory (*.svg).
If your cuts are in the png format you will have to convert them to svg files first. See this gist for instructions on how to do this.
If you installed the plugin through Blender, simply go to Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions again, press the small arrow on the top-right and press Install Available Updates.
