export as svg community edition

Post by jocpo » Thu Jun 04, 2020 3:06 pm

I originally bought QCAd Pro about 10 years ago. I use macOS. Now with Catalina it no longer supports the 32bit QCAAD version. I downloaded the 3.24.2 QCAD Community version.

I rarely have any need to use QCAD anymore but I have a drawing that I want to export as an svg so I can import into Inkscape to further manipulate the layout.

It appears that the Community edition is limited and cannot export svg"s. Is this correct?

I have another MacBook with Sierra on it that my old QCAD still runs but want to upgrade.

Is my only option to buy the New Pro?

I've sent you an e-mail with an update discount code in case you want to update to the latest version.

Just save as DXF. Inkscape can import DXF.

I purchased the new edition of QCAD so that I don't have to deal with the 32bit version and issues with MAC's new operating systems.
