Draft SVG

Opening
This function imports SVG files as workable 2D objects, in opposition to the built-in drawing module which imports svg files as sheet drawings. The following SVG objects get imported at the moment:


 * PATH objects with M, C, L or A commands
 * RECT objects

Importing
Works the same way as opening but creates the objects in the active document instead of creating anew one.

Exporting
The following objects can be exported in an SVG file:


 * Lines and wires (polylines)
 * Arcs and circles
 * Faces
 * Texts
 * Dimensions

Keep in mind that SVG is a 2D format, so all Z information will be disregarded (all objects will be flattened).

Preferences
The following parameters can be specified in the Draft Preferences tab (menu Edit -> Preferences -> Draft):
 * Import style: This lets you choose the way objects from the svg file will be drawn in FreeCAD. You can choose between:
 * None: this is the faster way, there is no conversion, all objects will be black with 2px width (FreeCAD default)
 * Use default color and linewidth: All imported objects will take current linewidth/color from the draft command bar
 * Original color and linewidth: Objects will keep the color and linewidth (if specified) they have in the svg file
