We don't really have native SVG support. The current SVG exporting is simply exporting a rasterized picture in svg format, instead of keeping floating point precision.
New implementation for native SVG was proposed long ago, but we currently don't have a developer working on it. Help is welcome!
One example in our bug tracker:

I have a DXF file that I found at
http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1025&start=10#p9725. The download is HoldDown_clamp_MM.dxf.txt. It's just a regular dxf file after the ".txt" is removed.
I have tried exporting it to an SVG file and I have tried various resolutions, but every time I open it in Inkscape or one of the online CAM programs, like www.MakerCAM.com, all of the circles and curved parts are very jagged and is basically unusable for me.
Am I doing something wrong, or is a limitation of the SVG export in LibreCAD?
Thank you,
Jim
