Opening
This function imports SVG files as workable 2D objects, in opposition to the built-in drawing module which imports svg files as sheet drawings. The following SVG objects get imported at the moment:
- PATH objects with M, C, L or A commands
- RECT objects
Importing
Works the same way as opening but creates the objects in the active document instead of creating anew one.
Exporting
The following objects can be exported in an SVG file:
- Lines and wires (polylines)
- Arcs and circles
- Faces
- Texts
Keep in mind that SVG is a 2D format, so all Z information will be disregarded (all objects will be flattened).
Preferences
The following parameters can be specified in the Draft Preferences tab (menu Edit -> Preferences -> Draft):
- Import style: None (fastest), Default color and linewidth, or Original color and linewidth.
