Documentation about inkscape-svg2fcsketch

[jnweiger]

I have now Idea how to announce on FreeCAD community forums. Help appreciated.

It is still WIP. As of today, splines and rounded rects are not implemented. Debugging arcs right now...
Screenhot added. :-)

@jnweiger you can announce your work on the Open Discussion FreeCAD sub forum.

Interesting, indeed. While I don't have access to any plotting/cutting/3D-printing devices myself :-( , I can point those who do here now.
Previously, this required exporting to dxf, right?

[jnweiger]

Previously there was no good way to import designs ito FreeCAD. Both DXF and SVG imported as not editable wire objects, with mixed results, especially when splines were involved.
I have example SVG imports that crash FreeCAD, and example DXF imports that skip objects.

Thx!

FYI, you pointed to a subforum, but not to a thread

Was waiting for moderators... updated the link above. Sorry for the confusion.
