I am fairly new to Inkscape. I have recently learned how to convert JPEGs to SVG files. I would like to save these SVGs as dxf files (for cutting files) also. When I select "Save as" and select the dxf format, I am given options to choose. ROBO or LWPOLYINE. Base unit. Character Encoding. Layer export selection.
I am making these files for crafters to use. Can anyone tell me which selections would be best? Or most commonly used? Thank you!

Theses are the DXF settings I use most often.

These are also the settings I use (without knowing the exact consequences when un/checking the checkboxes)
Ok, from here:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... Export-DXF
I learn that ROBO-Master is a somehow simplified DXF format.
But it doesn't say: what consequences has LWPOLYLINE on/off?

Maybe anyone can also comment on Base-Unit (mm)? I had some surprises with the DXF output which was a factor of 25.4 or 0.93 or some other factors too small or too large when imported in other CAD-programs. If I remember correctly, earlier one had to (not anymore?!) export in pt or px units to get the correct dimensions?! Although, I guess this was probably topic in several other posts here. I should check first.

Dxf export scale issues have been addressed in a bug fix to be included in the next release.

IIRC, the improved extension can be found here:

(I'd save the current extension as something.py_old before copying the proposed fix into the extensions dir.)

Thank you both for the helpful info and links. I definitely appreciate it!
