Re: Scripting Inkscape
Hello, As I could't get enough help on this "confidential" python library, I've done one. No need to have inkscape or exotic python library, it generates svg files. It's really brutal, but it works fine. It's here, on github site: https://github.com/pfeuh/yass/tree/master/doc/frontPannel/s...

Re: svg to dxf
Shame on me! I didn't noticed this in the FAQ! Anyway, my problem seems to be the same, but this tip doesn't fix the issue.

Re: Scripting Inkscape
I've done close to what I wanted to to. My coordinates system goes from left to right for x and from bottom to top for y. When I assign x y to a shape, it"s from the center of the shape. I give the unit I want to use once, after I use only floats, as the unit is already defined. That gives a mo...

Re: Scripting Inkscape
