Hello everybody,

I am stuck in a conversion process:

I export an *.svg from FreeCAD to open it in Inkscape and save it as a *plt.

The bug message is this:

UniConvertor failed:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I could solve the problem once with the following procedure in Inkscape:

1 - Select All

2 - Path > Object to path

3 - (with everything still selected) Object > Group

This time this solution doesn t work.
Anybody able to interpret the UniConvertor message?
Thanx in advance!!!

Cheers community!

What is your Inkscape version and operating system? Also maybe check if your Uniconverter version is current?

Sorry, I can't decipher the error message. But others will be around shortly, who can.

Sure,

I am workin on a (updated) Mac Os High Sierra 10.13.6.
Inkscape 0.92 communicates via
XQuartz 2.7.11 (xorg-server 1.18.4).

With other files coming from FreeCAD Inkscape worked, even if non-geometric data like dimensions were involved...

Can you share the file? Then we might find the object that causes this.

Yeah, sure,
there are 2 svg-files with similar error messages. (bauchi1...).
Than I attached an older but "working" svg-file of the same project (bauchi_vorne).

Thanx for your interest by the way

cheers
c/o

Hi Chrisond, I was able to convert the files after:

- ungrouping everything completely
- converting everything to a path

(and after fixing uniconvertor, building and then installing it.... lol)

Some issues in the svg:

Pattern fills cause failure (see in browser)
Title block and border cause failure

Might dig deeper, but that will take time.

It's easy - I was briefed in the FreeCAD-Forum...svg > hpgl (which is kind of a less sensitive /proprietary version of plt) > plt.
Problem solved. The shortcomings of the files ( no tangential constraints, title blocks) still exist, but...who cares.

Thanx to all of you!!!

Yeah, not too sure about that workflow... I made a SVG>HPGL>PLT round trip back into Inkscape and there seem to be a lot of extra paths right on top of each other. :-/

true, thanks, for whatever reason the dimensions flipped back to the origin.
Work in progress!!!
