![]() ![]() The whole of FreeCAD is a W.I.P., but as far as I know no one is currently working on full DXF implementation. If you want to import simple shapes in DXF and then do something with them in FreeCAD, you can, but if you want to seriously work with DXF with full functionality you would, for now at least, be best to have a look at LibreCAD for DXF or Draftsight for both DXF and DWG. Another example that has come up in the past is the other application had somehow inserted several lines on top of each other, hence the shape failed in FreeCAD.ĭXF files are certainly problematic, FreeCAD can import some DXF, but it has limitations. For example, precision, sometimes a shape fails because the different lines are not actually going to exactly the same point. Sometimes, some of the problem is that FreeCAD is actually showing up a problem not showing up in other applications. I don't know what the original looks like, so its a bit hard to say, but I opened it is LibreCAD and it looks better than FreeCAD but some of the lines still look wrong. I am staring at a blank layer with nothing in it.FreeCAD certainly does have issues with this example file. I do not even get to making all paths visible because I do not even see where it it and I do not have a path. ![]() And what path? I deleted the only layer which had a path per your instruction in the previous step. Merge all the paths in Merge dock? What is merge dock? Where? I do not see a "merge dock" anywhere. The original layer and all lines in it are gone. Now I have nothing but an empty layer, with nothing on it. I am beginner, whose only purpose is to draw on lines on a svg drawing with black pencil. Thanks for the effort to answer but I do not understand your answer. Stroke the paths with suitable size Edit -> Stroke pathĮdit: You probably need to make the canvas a little larger. ![]() Merge all the paths in the paths dock - Make all the paths visible - right click for merge all visible paths. Quote:All I want is to draw on the lines as if drawing by thick black pencilĭelete the original layer - click on it in the layers dialogue - Layer -> Delete layer If you want to change that then you need to use the paths, but no, it is no longer a svg image, it is a raster image. Import a svg into Gimp and the vector is rasterized, those svg paths become coloured pixels. Quote:And even with white background does it mean the drawing is still svg? Adding / Deleting can be done from the layers menu or the layers dock. You asked for a transparent layer how-to in the first post. What does it have to do with the LibreCad svg? When you exported a drawing (svg) from LibreCAD it asked you what colour background. Quote:How can I make a new transparent layer and delete the white layer? I mean I made a new transparent layer but then how do I delete the white layer and what does the new transparent layer have to do with the svg that I opened? Yes I marked the "import paths" option by the way There the large ellipse is simplified, small still lots of paths.Īs a new svg from inkscape, into Gimp looks like this, still a bit of work to do, consolidating those polylines back into the object shapes. There is still the multitude of paths making an ellipse, but these are quickly simplied, a single menu item. The PDF needs ungrouping to work on individual shapes. The svg drawing lines need converting from polyline objects to vector. Both work in Inkscape, both have annoyances. ![]() Why ? I do not know.Īlternative exports from LibreCAD are that drawing (SVG) format and also PDF. My advice, start looking at using Inkscape. Looks like it has been following the rendered pixel boundaries. Ellipse paths composed of very many small paths and not a smooth path. In Gimp using LibreCAD export as image (svg) Does not look bad until you zoom in. Two ellipse one point and drag, the smaller one 4-point. Quote:Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?īig however for LibreCAD: This is my drawing. Then you can make a new transparent layer and delete the white layer - Stroke the paths if you want, for a bitmap. Import a svg, the import dialogue has a tickboxes for Import paths and Merge imported paths. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg? Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. Quote: I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. ![]()
