Internally Inkscape use pstoedit to do the task. If I convert svg to dxf and than go on via SC I get what IĪlso scaling from "save as svg" in inkscape is pain in the ass.

I used SC in Windwos and also the shape was slightly different from what Yet, as far as I know), but before the linux build was in function again First I use the linux build (no svg import Metric and what ever, but maybe it help to clear up svg a little bit.Īlias svg_correct_ai_scale='sed -i '''s/px/pt/g''''īTW, I have had best luck importing SVG into SC. This is not the complete solution, because there is still inches to

But you have to check if this fits inĪlias svg_correct_ai_scale='sed -i '\''s/px/pt/g'\''' I often get svg from Illustrator if this is notĬompressed I simple run an alias on my linux box. So there is sometimes simple handling possible if you have always I do not accept svg sources without a size referenceĪlso there are some tricks by text replacement. Illustrater use 72 DPI so you get a different size depending from theĮnvironment where your svg is created. Svg don't has fix resolutions, recommended by the W3C consortium is IF its 25 times bigger thatn it should be it was imported in mm and sent out as Inches. Occasions but I will try again next time. Impot and export of a DXF can be messed up on either end or you can simple send it to CommandCNC in the wrong units (POST export) out of sheetCAM. I'm doing the same thing, SVG file from Inkscape, defined in mm (actually imported as DXF from NanoCad and then modified a little in Inkscape, so I know I have absolute dimensions right, since this is for a circuit board). Seemingly not related to metric/English and different on different Do recall that the scaling factors I needed to use were odd values,
