Hiya - attached is a file I'm tinkering with at the moment. If I output that as DXF, then reimport that into Inkscape, it's perfect. If I try to import it into draftsight, it comes out looking like Flintstones letters... the O has 7 sides. Maybe it's a resolution setting in draftsite or something. (...

Hi All I've been using inkscape quite happily for years, with my own laser-cutters etc... all good.... but now I'm increasingly having to send files to proper grown-up engineers, and they all seem to use software like Autocad, So... I need to get files into a format where they can import them withou...

Ah Clones.... thanks.

Firstly - congrats on new version. Looks great. I use Inkscape for designing things for laser-cutting. Here's a really common scenario: I have a design, with 88,000,000 screw holes, 3mm diameter.

Fantastic - thanks for your help. You're a star.

It looks as though Ubuntu is still only installing .48.3.1 https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/inkscape/ I've tried adding...

I think it might be this actually https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1074612

Is there a PPA that I can download for this fix? ... what do I do from here?

(ps: it wasn't showing fonts as outlines before - just tested on another computer etc)

I've been using Inscape for about 5 years now - and rely quite heavily on "outline view" to see what's going on... you kindof need it for laser-cutting etc. ... today "outline view" has stopped displaying anything except fonts. I can draw a box for example... select it. It's ther...
