Import from Inkscape (Solved)
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2019 2:33 pm
I have noticed when I import a drawing from Inkscape, the dimensions are off by factors of several 100s. It seems the Inkscape drawing is imported as mm even thought it is in inches. There is no way to convert it to the correct size except by scaling.
The only reason I even know this is that inkscape has a very nice gear rendering routine that I use a lot in my designs and I design the gear train in inkscape then import it into qcad for further development.
OK, not a qcad issue at all. A User issue. When exporting from Inkscape to dwg I forgot to change the units from pt to inches. Once I did that everything came across just fine.
