~suv:
Thanks you very much. I applied your instructions and I applied the script updates created by BobCook as updated by Tim.
The problem is fixed and has not reappeared.
Many thanks!

He developed it for version .46 it says.
I wonder if anyone has tried it.

And this update to Bob Cook's work:

SUV: I've tried your suggestion and have isolated the problem to L2- BMAN Outline. It retains the transform value even after all the Path /Object to Path and Ungroup, and moving the elements back and forth. All others drop the transform as expected. I'll attach the offending SVG file in case you can...

Thankyou, I'll try it and report back.

I spent several hours converting lines to polygons to provide width to lines being cut in CNC router.

The aforementioned tricks to get the DXF conversion to work do not seem to help me.
I'd appreciate any ideas. I'll attach the files below.
Thanks.

Thank you SUV, Brynn, all: I wanted to take time before retiring tonight to acknowledge and thank you for the response and solution to my newbie errors. I'll attach my final version. I'm happy with it and we'll see what the machinist says. The BLUE cauldron now appears as a beer can pouring into the...

Thanks much, just my luck.

Here's the SVG file:

I continue to receive reports of DXF file distortions from the machinist assisting me in creating a medallion. My design in SVG looks like this (saved as png): http://www.wirelesstechradio.com/images/DharmaShield8.png However, when SAVED AS DXF and loaded into CAMBAN program, the DXF displays like t...

Thanks, brynns, microugly. I was only using BUMP to keep the message near the top of new discussions, as we know most people don't look deep through the pages when looking for new discussion topics. If it dropped several pages back, there'd be little chance of ever getting an answer. I have a new qu...

Microugly: I didn't read an answer to my question in Brynn's response. Do you? I've seen the same conversion assumptions listed in the DXF save but it doesn't answer my question. I've since found the Document Properties function where INCHES can be selected for the drawing vice MM. But when I saved ...

Bump.

Hello all: Probably a fairly easy question but one that eludes me in my learning thus far on using INKSCAPE. I am collaborating with a gent with a CNC router who has kindly offered to create a master of my Burning Man medallion design. He's asks me to save each new version in DXF file that his CNC s...
