To export objects to SVG use the export method of the importSVG module.Traceback (most recent call last): File 'dxf_input.py', line 530, in inkex.errormsg(_('%d ENTITIES of type POLYLINE encountered and ignored. See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics. Scaling can be done after the import in FreeCAD or by changing the width, height and viewbox attributes. If you need the SVG import not to be rounded, work on User Units (px) in Inkscape. And odd values in millimeter will remain.

As FreeCAD (and the SVG standard) is agnostic to the precision of rounding done in Inkscape these values will not be rounded on input. All the output has to be considered converted to 90 DPI and rounded to 6 decimal places. No matter which unit is selected in Inkscape. The Inkscape SVG Editor currently works only with 90 DPI documents. Relative units like em, ex and % are currently not supported. Using absolute units in attributes inside the SVG should be avoided. If the SVG does not contain information on its physical size, it is assumed to have a 90 DPI resolution. All elements are scaled to their size in millimeters, which is FreeCAD's internal unit. When importing, the width, height and viewBox attributes are respected. When exporting, a User Unit (px) equals one millimeter. SVG is a 2D format, so all Z information will be disregarded (all objects will be flattened). The following FreeCAD objects can be exported: The following SVG objects can be imported:įreeCAD will not import path objects that have only one point ( forum discussion). Inkscape drawing exported to SVG, which is subsequently opened in FreeCAD Importing Draft SVG is a software module used by the Std Open, Std Import and Std Export commands to handle the SVG file format.
