Inkscape to OpenSCAD converter v6

thingiverse

This Inkscape extension converts Inkscape paths to OpenSCAD, supporting SVG arcs, clones, circles, ellipses, groups, lines, paths, polygons, poly-lines, rects, and splines. It works with document transforms and viewports, processing the entire document or select portions. Note that text must first be converted to a path within Inkscape using "Path > Object to Path." Another approach is saving SVG in DXF format and importing it into OpenSCAD. The extension is downloaded as paths2openscad-2.zip, placed in the Inkscape extensions folder, and accessed under "Extensions > Generate from Path" as "Paths to OpenSCAD." Select objects, enter output file name and optional extrusion height and smoothing parameter, then click "Apply." Limitations include single-level polygon nesting and combining multiple polygons into a path. OS X Lion users need the lxml package for Inkscape extensions to work correctly. This extension is version 6 of Thing #24808 and has been maintained due to numerous remixes and alternative versions on Thingiverse, GitHub, and other sources.
