external links in Inkscape

Postby Velta » Wed Dec 01, 2010 9:51 pm

Hi friends!
Could you please hint me how I can use external links in Inkscape?

For example I have svg file with such code
<use id="TS1"
width="40" height="40"
xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed"
xlink:href="./APTS.svg#APTS_on"
xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>

and file APTS.svg ,describing symbol APTS_on, in the same directory. When I open this svg file with any browser I see my symbol APTS_on, but if I open this file in Inkscape it will be empty!
(win xp, Inkscape 0.47.0.9)

Code: Select all

   <use id="TS1"
      width="40" height="40"
      xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed"
      xlink:href="./APTS.svg#APTS_on"
      xlink:actuate="onLoad" />

Using external fragment identifiers in links for clones (<use>) to address a particular element within an external SVG document is not yet supported by Inkscape.
