Hello everyone,

i have been searching for a way to cut a svg file in pieces and safe all the parts to separate fsvg files. I have found an extension (guillotine) that does this for PNG, but i want to export the selections to svg!
Any help?

Thanks in advance

Why not make copies of SVG files in your File browser then open each and delete the parts you don't want? Or cut and paste objects between files. I assume each file will contain specific objects, and not be sliced so the objects are cut in pieces like with PNG.

Thanks for your reply.

well, the point is, i have made a card deck modification for a poker client, and this client stores the cards in A.svg K.svg etc. form in a folder. How do cut them from a larger file like this:

into smaller svgs?

sorry to bring back this post, but I have the same issue.
I'm trying to separate url=https://github.com/mapbox/maki]mapink maki icon set[/url] (a single svg file) into multiple svgs to use with qgis.
The author uses inkscape for a batch PNG export, and every object has its id.
is there a way to do this automatically?

Hi sanzoghenzo

In your case you can use the Guillotine extension for this as you want PNG files - The OP (Original Poster) wanted exports as SVG.
Place guides spaced evenly ;



Use; Extensions - Export - Guillotine.
Your Images will be saved as PNG files.

Good luck.

sorry, what I wanted to say is that the author of the svg uses the png export, but I wanted to save as SVG.
for now I solved by manually ctrl+c,crtl+n,crtl+v,ctrl+w like 80 times
I wonder if there's an automated way to do that, if I'll ever have to use it on a huge svg...

Hi.

Sounds tedious!
Sorry for misunderstanding your question. (Too early in the morning!)

To get individual svg saved I reckon you would have to go the scripting route, take a look at this page;

I will give this a try on my tiled star svg file and report back.

Hello,
Some time ago, I found a script which convert groups to layers. I modified it to convert paths to layers. I think that if you have your drawing divided in groups, that groups can be converted to diferent files.

So the answer is NO. But it can be done

You said you solved by creating about 80 separate svg-s out of the one containing 264 separate groups.
Not that I could code anything close to such needs, but I think you could make separate svg-s of each group.
Not from three separate ones, with "random" placement.

Also, you want to use the result svg-s in qgis, so saving in inkscape svg is not necessary.
Your original inkscape svg is made up from 8285 lines, while the same result could be made from 6020 lines in plain svg.

Another thing that I noticed, is how small inaccuracy is stored in each group.
For the 18*18 pixel sized icons you have background rectangles with such sizes:
height="18.000031"
width="18.000017"
width="18.000017"
height="18.000031"
Sorry I have no idea on how to correct them.

Hi Lazur,

I extracted only the 24x24px (and not all of them, because I don't need them at the moment). maybe the smaller ones can be useful, but not until an automated way will show up (I'm a lazy boy!)

I took a look at the XML and I thought the same. It could be done pretty easily, if only I know how to do it!

no problem, such small inacuracy couldn't be noticed inside a map like the one I have to deal with, I can live with that
Thanks for your time and help!
