Inkscape 1.1 Download

InInkscape, select text and convert to path, PATH-OBJECT TO PATH (or text to path, i cant recall) Then select circles and do the same but you will select stroke to path. You can union them all together in inkscape or LB.

A possible issue, beside the text one, is that you drew the two circles by using stroke width. When importing in LB, the lines have a uniform, small thickness: the size of the laser, actually.

In Inkscape, you can do Path > Stroke to path to convert them. Then, you might want to make an union of these two shapes.

I use inkscape, regularly, but likely not as frequently as you do. Currently I cannot get it to crash. The only thing I can think may be causing this is possibly your GPU as it is nvidia and mine is AMD. This would align with updates/upgrading to introduce issues for you. This is just a suggestion though as I am able to use my inkscape through the last number of upgrade of Fedora. My installation is the RPM from Fedora repos.

Hi Stephen

Thank yo for your suggestion. I think this will be fixed eventually with future updates, fortunately I now at home and working at my desktop PC, that I keep slightly behind the current updates. There I still can run Inkscape and keep up with my work. I guess I just will keep mi desktop in this version and wait for this bug to get fixed.

Hi Yotam

I was using the version they provide on the official page with any problems. I actually used widely for a few days. I even remember I actually drag and drop some references and colour palettes in to my working document without any issues.

I think you should try to update to 6.7.3-200 kernel. which is the latest available as i write this. I just update my laptop a few days ago and try the inkscape version from repo today, and it just works. I now updates my desktop PC and it works also there.

Actually I reinstalled the Inkscape version from the Fedoras official repository with: sudo dnf install inkscape Prior to this I was using de appimage provided in the Inkscape official webpage. Any of the two versions from Flathub where working for me.

I use Fusion360 to design all sorts of things to lasercut. Once I've designed something, I export everything in 2D (export sketch to DXF) and re-import it into inkscape to use in the laser cutter. This works perfectly for everything besides splines and I've been using circles and ellipses as a workaround but this just isn't cutting it (pun intended) anymore for me

My testfile is a simple square 50mm * 100mm with a spline running from one corner to the other (to make sure i can double check the size of the conversion alongside the actual spline). I've included my test.dxf file in attachment

I'd really love to get this working so after a few months of trying and failing I'm hopping on the forum here hoping someone can tell me what I'm overlooking Right now I've fallen back to the plugin method but that's a cumbersome approach as you can tell.

How did you make the DXF file attached. When I import your file into Rhino3d I don't see the spline but if I make a new sketch in Fusion with a spline created in Fusion I can export as a DXF and open in Rhino OK. Is your DXF a projection from a face or the original sketch with a spline.

Have you made any request to inkscape to fix their importer? As the file can be opened by Rhino, Fusion and I'd guess AutoCAD I'm not sure you stand much chance of getting a fix for something that's not really broken.

As for the inkscape importer, I don't know the specifics but the way I understood it, the spline used in fusion (and it's dxf file) is of type x (let's just say 5 for this example, I forgot the exact level/type). While the one inkscape uses is a simpler type (let's say 3). So inkscape just cannot read that spline without dumbing it down to it's level. This has been raised a lot in my quest for finding the proper way don't shoot me on this explanation

So I know this isn't 100% ignition related but I have scoured the interwebs with no success.

Here is my issue. I create a square in inkscape, I add a textbox on top of that square. I save it using the recommendations here:

If I create a single text object in Inkscape, resize the page to the drawing, save it as an Optimized SVG, and open it in a browser, it will be in the top left corner and looks fine.

If I drag it into Perspective designer and embed it, I can see a part of the text, but it is cut off. You can move the text around by editing the transform: translate(10 20) (example values) or you can move the viewBox around from say (0 0 100 100) to (-100 -100 100 00). But why?

I drew a simplified version to demonstrate the problem and made a new discovery (for me) along the way.

I was creating a union of the rectangles in Inkscape, so I could change the fill in one place, rather than for every single drawing element individually. This worked ok in Designer, but gave me the text problem.

I originally tried creating a group, but the fill was still individual per rectangle.

However, when I followed @nminchin 's advice on creating the group, then with the group selected, changing the fill, Inkscape adds the fill to the group. When I embed this in designer, it works as expected. What was not expected, was the text appeared where it should!
