Convert SVG to DXF

CGRCGR
in General

Hi All,

I searched here and on documentations but I can't find an explanation to the button in the drawings panel that is "convert svg to dxf" and how it works?

Cuz that's one feature I really use often is to export dwg/dxf to other involved parties in a project.

Cheers
C

    @CGR it creates a .dxf file in the same folder of the .svg file (so into the "drawing" subfolder).
    Maybe are you searching for the code?

    Hi...I wouldn't like to open a new Thread, but does anyone know of some kind of Paper, a Master thesis or something that analyzes the main capabbilities of SVG vs DXF for the construction industry? Right now from the community it seems the way to go would be SVG.

    All smart /computer guided groundwork and lasercutting is done with DXF. Much benefit comes from supporting it. Everything we design in infra is dwg (/dxf) sooner of later. Parts were ifc as geometry falls shory. I think the majority of people are unaware of the potential an benefits DXF as cross platform solution. As better more open solution for dwg. I use it to work with Qgis CloudCompare and Blender in the same go. I never understood why people would go for scaleable vg. Dxf only has one obstacle.. it's supposably not 'open' enough to be be treaed as true open standard.

    This page is definitely not finished.

    IMO it makes sense that the majority in a FOSS community prefers SVG, but I have never once witnessed a client asking me for outputting a svg. It's always either a proprietary format (Archicad, REVIT, you name it) or DWG (or its more open counter part DXF). The structure of SVG makes it extremely customizable (moreso than dxf/dwg) but the fact that you kind of have to know your way around CSS makes it not suitable for maybe 90% of the population (aka non-FOSS-savy people) unfortunately.

    DXF is a useful format. Bonsai outputs SVG as an alternative to PDF.
