Ritchie75 over 10 years ago

Hi all

 

I can't import a SVG file on EAGLE 7.4 with OS X I have this error message

"You must at least 3 point to create a polygon !!!!"

 

Any idea ?

 

Help should be great.

 

Thanks

 

 

Ritchie

    Hi Ritchie,

     

    How are you importing an SVG into EAGLE? I've looked and I have no import option for this and there are no ULP in my installation in any v7 version of EAGLE that look like they would do the job. Is this a 3rd party ULP you are using? From the error message it looks like maybe something that is just a line with a start and an end point in the SVG is being interpreted as a polygon by the imported and hence it doesn't actually have enough points to draw the polygon. Where does the SVG come from? Is it exported from a drawing tool or something?

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael

    Hi Rachael and many thanks for your prompt reply.

     

    The ULP for SGV import is "svg2poly.ulpt" here the link enclosed :

     

    https://github.com/cmonr/Eagle-ULPs

     

    I tested this ULP because I have more prob. with OSH Park, when I upload my

    project with a logo in bmp it seems to be not recognize !!!!!! I decided to

    test with alternative SVG import but not working....I'm going to be crazy

    !!!

     

    Do you can do some tests for me please ? try to import the logo I attached

    and upload the berber fiel into a zip on OSH Park and let me know ?

     

    Here my personal mail if you want :

     

    mailto:ritchie@ritchie.fr

     

    Are you in UK ?

     

    regard and thanks by advance.

    Right ok, in your first post you had said 7.4.0.

     

    However, I notice you've used Ghostscript to convert your SVG file to DXF? That is NOT what I did. Use the online converter I linked and it will work.

    Also, I notice you are using EAGLE 7.4.0 on OSX. I'm using 7.6.0 on OSX just in case that is anything to do with it.

    Hi Ritchie,

     

    Yes that's the picture and it works fine for me, although it must be noted once converted to DXF it's just a line drawing not a full colour tiger. It also takes an age to draw. When you import the DXF does it take a long time importing? What does the script in the run script window look like?

     

    Best Regards,


    Rachael
