Import SVG help !!!!!

Hi Jorge and thanks for your reply...

Yes I think this a resolution image, I find a solution with lowest resolution but the prob. seems to be preview mode because once you click on "continue" you can see the logo.

Anyway OSH suggest me to use .SVG format but the ULP don't works did you test this format ? if yes do you can feedback the me the results ?

Thanks again for your help and regards

Ritchie

Hi Ritchie,

I've just tried svg2poly.ulp with three different SVG files and I get different errors with each. It seems to have limited compatibility with actual SVG files which is a shame.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Hi Rachael thanks for your prompt test.

Thanks for the feedback I'm not alone with this issue.

See you soon my friend.

Ritchie

You're welcome Ritchie.

Just for completeness, I just created a really simple SVG file with a simple polygon and nothing else and the ULP also failed to work with this too so I am interested to know what SVG files this does work with and how they are created because as far as I can tell it's not working at all.

Anyway, I hope you manage to move forward with your project and get your boards done ok. Let me know if you need and further help.

Best Regards,

Rachael

FYI, the ULP contains some information about author and capabilities.

Either read usage from control panel, or read the plain ULP text. Also,

it creates a file "svg2poly.log" wich could give more info whats going

wrong.

Hi Morten,

I found some more detailed info in the README.md on github. Basically it is

designed to deal with the output from Inkscape and can only handle paths. I

don't use Inkscape and don't actually need to use this ULP myself so I will

leave it up to the OP to try out Inkscape and see if they can get their

original svg file exported in a way which works with this ULP.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Hi all and thanks for your help.

I note that the ULP works only with INSKAPE output process.

What a pity...if someone have another solution let me know.

I used bitmap import and then drew polygons manually over it to avoid

the huge number of rectangles created by the import.

Alternatively you could look at DIY milling or lasercutter sw. They can

probably make importable milling vectors out of high dpi bitmaps to get

a smoot result. But tbh, this sounds a bit awkward.

Hi Ritchie,

Why don't you try converting the SVG to a DXF with something like this: https://cloudconvert.com/svg-to-dxf

Then you can try to import the resulting DXF into EAGLE.

As the DXF importer is supplied as part of EAGLE and integrated in the UI by CADSoft it may be a little fuller in implementation than the SVG importer you were using. I've not tried converting an SVG in this way and importing the resulting DXF so I don't know how well it will work but it might be worth a try.
