Good day.
I got a file that was created in inkscape...when I try to import in Moi it does not do anything.
But when I import it in Vcarve it does open.

What can be the cause?

Tnx!

Hi Matadem, I don't know of any svg import issues currently.

Can you please send the file? If you want to keep it private you can e-mail it to me at moi@moi3d.com

Hi Matadem, you can get this to work in MOI by first opening the .svg in Inkscape.

Then inside Inkscape choose File > "Clean Up Document" and then File > Save As to a new filename, and MOI will be able to read that new file.

It looks like MOI’s .svg importer can get confused when there are unused <def> elements in the svg file. The “Clean up document” command in Inkscape removes the unused <def>s.
