Öppna

Denna funktion importerar SVG file som redigerbara 2D objekt, i motsats till den inbyggda Ritningsmodulen vilken importerar svg filer som pappersritningar. Följande SVG objekt importeras för närvarande:

  • PATH objekt med M, C, L eller A kommandon
  • RECT objekt

Importera

Fungerar på samma sätt som att öppna men skapar objekten i det aktiva dokumentet istället för att skapa ett nytt.

Exportera

Följande objekt kan exporteras i en SVG fil:

  • Linjer och trådar (polylines)
  • Cirkelbågar och cirklar
  • Ytor
  • Text
  • Dimensioner

Tänk på att SVG är ett 2D format, så all Z information kommer att ignoreras (alla objekt kommer att plattas ut).

Preferences

The following parameters can be specified in the Draft Preferences tab (menu Edit -> Preferences -> Draft):

  • Import/Export -> Import style: This lets you choose the way objects from the svg file will be drawn in FreeCAD. You can choose between:
    • None: this is the faster way, there is no conversion, all objects will be black with 2px width (FreeCAD default)
    • Use default color and linewidth: All imported objects will take current linewidth/color from the draft command bar
    • Original color and linewidth: Objects will keep the color and linewidth (if specified) they have in the svg file
  • Import/Export -> Export Style:
    • Translated: All elements are translated that their coordinates are positive. This should aid display and printing. The output coordinate system is NOT cosistent between individualy exported elements.
    • Raw: The position of all elements preserved. This intended for CAM usage for example in PyCAM. Layers or Slices exported individualy will match.
  • General settings -> Internal precision level:
    • This value is used to check if a bezier curve segement has to be considered a straight line. If you import detailed paths, like rendered text, you may want to increase this setting up to 6. If you are working with Inkscape please consider to raise the precision in the SVG file, well. (Inkscape Menu -> File -> Inkscape Preferences -> SVG Output -> Numeric Precision)

Unit Handling

When exporting, a User Unit (px) equals one millimeter.

When importing, the width, height and viewBox attributes are respected. All elements are scaled to their size in millimeter, which is FreeCAD internal unit. If the SVG does not contain information on its physical size, it is assumed to have 90 DPI resolution. Using absoulte units in attributes inside the SVG should be avoided. Relative units like em,ex and % are currently not supported.

The SVG Editor Inkscape currently works only with 90 DPI documents. No matter which unit is selected in Inkscape. All the output has to be considered converted to 90 DPI and rounded to 6 decimal places. As FreeCAD (and the SVG standard) is agnostic to the precision of rounding done in Inkscape these values will not be rounded on input. And odd values in millimeter will remain. If you need the SVG import not to be rounded, work on User Units (px) in Inkscape. Scaling can be done after the import to FreeCAD or by changing the width, height and viewbox attributes.
