Object type after import from Intaglio

[Greg S]

Newbie here. From an abandoned program I exported as SVG then opened and saved in EasyDraw. Took me a while, but I figured out that rectangles are now four linked segments. Can these be converted to rectangles?

I may be back with scaling questions later, because if I rescale the drawing to match the "segmented object", objects drawn with EazyDraw don't match the scale.

Tools -> Convert To -> Welded Bezier .  This gets the 4 lines to a closed polygon. Which is good enough to accept fill at least.  Change Interaction Level to Scale, ( that is: Format -> Interaction -> Scale in the menus). Then it will behave as a rectangle.

Match Scale: I'm guessing here without exact details:   In EazyDraw, on Preferences. Set SVG Pixels to 90 ( could be? 96 is what Intaglio exported ).  But this setting needs to match SVG authoring convention.  Don't try to fix it with EazyDraw's Scale palette settings - you will be off down a rabbit hole.  EazyDraw Help pages explain the SVG issue of 72, 90, and 96 Points per Pixel uncertainty in SVG.

Send EazyDraw Support the SVG with the 4 lines to represent a rectangle.  EazyDraw has a post SVG, DXF and PDF conversion pass, the fact that Intaglio degrades the rectangles can be fixed - we just nee one or two good examples to teach the algorithm.  - we need exact Intaglio content as this is (most likely) an error on export, there may be legit SVG with 4 line rectangles, so we can't just promote all 4 line boxes to rectangles.

Thank you. I'll send a simplified version of the export. BTW, opening the SVG crashed EazyDraw, although I've no problem with the 20 or layered full version. I'll await an answer from the submission.

I'd already started down the rabbit hole which was part of why I posted.
