The extension automatically adds dimensions to the DXF: layer_name_width and layer_name_height for each layer and total_width and total_height. ![]() I know, painful, but once you have the size worked out it's not bad. A workaround for this is to recreate all layers after resizing the document. ![]() NOTE: If you change the size of the document in Inkscape the exported DXF will have misplaced objects. ![]() Supposedly it exports color to the dxf as well but I don't know if that's supported in openscad. With this Inkscape extension, you can edit/save your design and simply "Save a Copy As" to DXF whenever you want to try it in OpenSCAD. I took all the best parts of at least 3 other DXF output extensions (I lost count!) and added automation for the steps listed above. I had had enough and set out to automate that process. The current steps you need to take to turn an SVG into an OpenSCAD usable DXF are the following:Īfter all that you may use your SVG design in OpenSCAD, but then if you want to edit your design you are faced with two equally unpalatable options: edit the original design and go through the steps again, or edit the DXF directly. The purpose of this thing is to make it easier to take something from Inkscape and use it in OpenSCAD. I'm no pro but I've been able to do what I need with it. UPDATE: Posted version 2 which works well in both Inkscape version 0.91 and 0.48. Zeig mehr each layer named "layername_minx" and so on. UPDATE: Posted version 3 which adds "total_minx", "total_maxx", "total_miny" and "total_maxy" as well as similar dims for.
