SVG?

245 posts

I think that it would be absolutely fantastic if LibreCAD could develop really good compatibility and use with the SVG file format. Because this would enable workflow with other "open source" programs like "Inkscape" etc.

What do you think anyone?

In the mean time check this out:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2943081&group_id=147258&atid=767817

it's a dxf to svg converter. I haven't used it, but this patched
version seems to work.
