Import SVG help !!!!!

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 :

Are you in UK ?

regard and thanks by advance.

If you want take a look here a screening of my process.

So you've not taken your SVG file and converted it to DXF using the web converter I linked to?

The import process in your video seems to take a very long time and if you look at the script it generates there is nothing of note in it which explains why it draws nothing. I think the DXF output from Adobe illustrator must be generating something that the importer in EAGLE doesn't like.

So I searched google for SVG files of varying complexity to test this out, I found a simple one of some gears first, then some more intricate patterns and finally I found an SVG called "Awesome Tiger" all of which I exported to DXF using the website I linked and then imported into EAGLE. They all worked. The last one took a LONG time to draw but I now have a test board with a line drawing of an awesome tiger!

It seems that the process I described above, using the tools I suggested, does actually work. I think if you take your SVG file and convert it to DXF in the same way I did then you might find it works.

Ok my friend I will do that.

Have you got a MSN or ICQ it will more simple isn't it ?

Thanks again for your precious help but I thing I don't have any chance at this time.

Ritchie

Hi Ritchie,

Unfortunately I don't have MSN or ICQ here I'm afraid sorry.

I've not seen your actual SVG file but I can't think why it wouldn't work with the process I have described based on my tests with arbitrarily complicated SVG files. If I can import an awesome tiger as a line drawing into a test board I am sure your logo will import ok as it's likely to be way less complicated than that.

Rachael

Ok don't worry I can understand...

Do you can send me your pict for to be sure that's the same pict ?

Thanks my friend

Ritchie

That's this pict ?

If yes I tested with the same parameters from you AND THE PICT DOES NOT APPEAR !!!!!! (:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:

Ritchie

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

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.

No this is 7.6 !!

It's a big band at my home

Yes I'm pretty sure that's EXACTLY what it is! I told you many messages ago to try the online SVG to DXF converter I linked to!
