Michael, would adding SVG export to QCad be a real chore?

SVG file export?
Moderator: andrew
Actually SVG export (with QCad of course) makes an excellent front end for Cheetah3D, a solid modeller package for Mac OS X. I and a few others are hoping that Martin Wengenmayer, C3D's developer will make C3D more architecturally friendly (at the moment, it C3D is better suited to game modelling).andrew wrote: We use SVG export in connection with XSL-FO / Apache Fop here.
I've already got 2 architectural practices, to switch from AutoCAD to QCad
Because I started this thread, I'll move over here (from; http://www.ribbonsoft.com/rsforum/viewt ... 2&start=15)
Opening up both SVG files (QCad, and Intaglio) reveals this;
QCad;

It seems kind of strange that Apple are so anti SVG (although I can understand why!). But right now an alternative to DXF is more attractive than ever before.
