I'm having a look at gerber files it's a bit more complicated then I expected but has several interesting aspects to it Like the silkscreen for instance it is an 'inverted' vector graphic all white, with everything transparent that should be printed (as an actual silkscreen, hence the name) Fritzing...

Fritzing has a lot of part designs made in inkscape I also would like to see an option to export gerbers top layer 'copper0' next layer 'copper1' etc 'silkscreen0' for the top 'silkscreen1' for the bottom and a 'drill' layer for all the holes not sure how outlineshapes are done and break-lines And i...

Ok thanks, it's slowly sinking in... Let me change the nature of the question, What do i need to understand to be able to explain in a correct manner how other softwares should deal with this. What pointers are set in SVG that other software should use to get things right? The only one i finf in the...

NO. You can't save dpi information in template, so the name "CD Cover 300dpi" is just pure nonsense. I reported a bug. The only informations in the template are : the preferred unit is set to "pt" (one of those strange unit that should have died a long time ago) which is around ...

The good news is: the templates already exist. We can keep our hair ;-) hehehe But Is it possible to set the DPI in the template? That's the question...

Thanks guys! Now i need some time to figure out the facts and how to get to the next step. I can give a few examples how things go wrong with inkscape and other softwares due to DPI weirdness. Not sure who to blame, i guess W3C is the main reason, And then a secondary reason that every software seem...

Inkscape Preferences > Bitmap There are 3 settings Export Create and Import. It's just very annoying when people use Inkscape for CNC projects and for some reason the bitmap resolution of inkscape causes scaling issues. I hope to fix this for once and for all by providing a template that fixes the s...

Is it possible to set the resolution in a template? Problem: Inkscape's bitmap resolution is sometimes set to a different value, depending on OS / inkscape version / user preferences. I want to make a template that sets makes sure that whenever that template is used that the bitmap resolution also c...
