Pls, attach your files.
That would not be the first issue with SVG.

Rather all arcs look to be reversed in your screengrab.

The dxf and the re-imported svg consist both out of 53 non-reversed arcs.
Setting something else as 'White' and 'Default' for the lines:
Looks ok in a browser.
Opens ok in Inkscape.

So it is a Deepnest issue.
Did you try reversing the arcs, or conbined to a polyline?

Nope - I haven't ask for the dxf :wink:

Hi Both

I reckon it's the nesting program too..
I also opened up svg in inkscape but only displayed rectangle but AutoCAD opened the dxf with no problems..
CVH yes same issue with polylines...
Silly me rectangle was white on white saved from inkscape as DXF and all arcs are ok..👌

Cheers
John

Hi Husky
Deepnest cannot process SVG files correctly every one I've tried so far fails all arcs are reversed..the pc I'm using is offline..I bet it will work while online..pity it looked very promising..

You lost! e_surprised Online / offline does not matter. SVG fails in both scenarios. Good to know ...

Deepnest is what they call 'abandonware'.
Jack Qiao (Jack000) never did surface again after 2018.
https://github.com/Jack000
http://jack.works/

There is a fork with later commits:
https://github.com/InfernoEmbedded/Deepnest

Deepnest is based on SVGnest from the same author.
Last commit there is from april 2019.

Deepnest and SVGnest topics are spread over many sites and pages.
I did came across some demands and commits about arcs but not as we are experiencing.

Found a mail address: jak000 at gmail.com
(had to chop that address or the msg failed as spam)
Many are trying to reach him.

Pitty, it looked promising.

CVH

Does anyone know if either of these free nesting software programs will nest rectangular parts within a random shape. I want to cut leather belting/strips from a full cowhide and plan to trace a profile from a scaled photograph. This is sort of reversed from the usual but any program that will nest parts within parts could possibly do this.
I'm using an older liscenced version of Autocad (on a 64 bit system) to create the outline and should be able to convert to DXF or SVG possibly. I'm assuming these are standalone programs and not an addon to QCAD.
Thanks
EDIT: I had not read to the last few posts about both of these being abandoned is there anything else that's freeware or open source?

Just try it yourself - it doesn't hurts and it doesn't cost money. :wink:

Abandoned? I think it isn't on us to make a statement like that! There could be a bunch of reason why it looks abandoned - that doesn't means it is abandoned!
I just noticed that not many people are working on any improvement on a wheel. Means that wheels are all abandoned? ... :lol: :lol: :lol:
