Hello everybody, I am trying to export and import .svg files. I have a 0.35277 scale factor between creating the .svg file and opening it. I guess it is linked to the point definition (1pt = 0.35277 mm). Do you have any idea of how to keep the dimensions when saving as .svg ?

Hello - Just testing V6 here with a simple file, exporting 1:1 seems to work fine; dimensions are reading correctly… I’ll try mac. -Pascal

Hi Pascal. I’m on windows. Other than out of scale and misplaced, rhino svg export function also alter the shapes: circles and nurbs curves are deformed in the process. On Laurent plugin that doesn’t happen.

Hi Riccardo - can you post a simple example (3dm file, svg export, settngs, please) of that? - please also send a version, that you like, from the plug-in. thanks, -Pascal

Already on the pseudo-print form you can tell something fishy is going on. [2020-07-02 20_15_40-Export SVG] Rhino_svg.zip (31.3 KB) On plugin page citing 1 year old Laurent comment "… I distributed the sources (to Mc Neel and others) but didn’t see some new work. … " :no_mouth: Edit: and the …

Thanks, that is perfect. @maje90 - for now, a higher DPI appears to help (600) - however, we are still are not getting the simplified exact circles back, as in the plug-in. RH-59391 Export SVG - special case circles and arcs. -Pascal

Hi Riccardo, you are right my plugin doesn’t work on Rhino 6, I didn’t tried to compile it for Rhino 6. It must not be difficult but it seemed not necessary as Rhino 6 export SVG… Like you I continue to use Rhino 5. I gave all the sources to someone but neither saw a result. I have no problem to p…

From a “vector” source (.3dm , rhino) to a “vector” file, .svg … using the DPI seems, to me, a really really bad and misleading/confusing idea. But anyway, even with 600 there are big problems: [2020-07-02 20_59_53-Rhino 6 Commerciale - Top] Original is small, exported and reimported is the bigge…

I am a lot on Visual Studio at the moment, I will try to recompile it this weekend. Hope I don’t need to make too much changes.

You are a godsend for this community.

I believe circles and arcs still need to be special cased. We currently convert curves to Beziers fit within tolerance defined by the DPI.
