I am trying to save this file https://cdn.joejiko.com/img/gaming/pokemon/team-valor-vector.svg as a DXF file but Inkscape won't save the file. How do I correct it so that I can save it as a DXF file.

This is the error message I get :-

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dxf_outlines.py", line 345, in <module>
e.affect()
File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 265, in affect
self.getposinlayer()
File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 207, in getposinlayer
x = self.unittouu( xattr[0] + 'px' )
File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 351, in unittouu
return retval * (self.__uuconv[u.string[u.start():u.end()]] / self.__uuconv[self.getDocumentUnit()])
File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 304, in getDocumentUnit
p = param.match(svgwidth)
TypeError: expected string or buffer

I get the same error, but if I copy-all and paste into a new document, I save as a dxf.

Hope this helps...

This is a known error of the extension that is used to export to DXF, which does not work without a value for width for the svg image.

You could also either edit the SVG file and add width="100%" into the svg tag, or use the XML editor and add a width attribute to the SVG element with a value of 100%.

Thanks for the help, problem solved !

I used the xml editor option.
