You are right, with very small objects it snap to the corners. I tried this:

In the Document Properties, Snap Tab, and reduce the distance for Snap to Grid and Snap to Objects. I have 1 for objects, and 10 for grid.

In the Snap option bar, be sure to check just Snap to boxes centers, grid and nothing else. See the attachment.

DId you try http://swf2svg.sourceforge.net/?

If it doesnt work, upload the file, Ill try to convert it for you.

I suggest (like 4th option) to export bitmap juts like an extra workaround, you know, theres many ways to achieve our goals, so trotsepapa wants to copy/paste a section of his draw, he doesn't specifies if he need the vectors or not; bitmap could be a solution. May be the problem is my poor english!...

Ey nice work!

One more tip:

You can avoid the line thickness scaling by unmarking the firs of this option (see the attachment) when you select the object.

Wine is a Linux software that allows to run windows software (some) on Linux platforms. http://www.winehq.org/ For me, like a professional working with Linux, Illustrator 10 (from 2005 :D) running with wine has helped me in the past to workaround some problems, but in the present I'm able to do almo...

Your are thinking in a Bitmap way, where you can select pixels as you like; Inkscape work with Vectors, standalone polygons; you cant select just a part of that. What you can do is: 1. Group all the objects, and apply a Clip Mask. 2. Joint all the objects (paths) to get 1 object (path A), create the...

Procces Percentages is about the press inks. In common printers we use 4 inks, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK), when the printer ask to you for Grayscale images he wants images with just one ink (Black), Inkscape, unfortunately, doesnt export CMYK values in any format, the colors are always s...

Great!

Did you try "Rasterize effects" in the Inkscape PDF dialogue? Other option could be ALT+B, it creates a Bitmap copy of the selection, then you can save your PDF again; your file is for print, so be sure to set the resolution of bitmap clones to 300dpi in the Inkscape preferences. This is a...

I guess he compressed the file intentionally. The thread title says ".ai" so he knows what file is he trying to open. Ahhh and the forum doesnt acept .AI attachments, so thats the reason to compress it! I downloaded the file "test.ai", my Inkscape cant open it. 1. What Illustrato...

Hi, anybody knows if Inkscape is already (or will) using the new GTK3 ?

Sounds like a good idea. Hoping for the Demo!

Remember that the Inkscape SVG doesnt render fine if you have paragraph texts, and with some other details. I know browsers render just plain SVG.

"Could you upload the file?", I mean if you can share the file with us, so we can help you more easily. GIMP will not work. it works with RGB bitmaps, that doesnt fit the press industry standars. Ok, I want to help you because Im graphic designer and I work in the prepress-press world, so ...

Could you upload the file?

Can you import the EPS, AI to Scribus and export from there?

Can you view your exported files with any other program?

My Illustrator CS4 open my SVGs without problems, just be sure to convert text to nodes and rasterize effects.

Use PDFs

Same problem here.

Can you report a bug at launchpad?

Yes, just Crtl+Number 5 (on num pad)

You can change it in share/keys/default.xml
