Hello Simon, Just tried out the kabeja dxf2svg extension, and it looks very interesting, I hope it can be incorporated into Inkscape. Currently, I am running it offline in Windows XP, from a DOS prompt, because of various Inkscape problems. However, apart from that, I have a question concerning format of the output. http://www.nabble.com/file/p16227108/testin.svg testin.svg I begin with a file testin.svg, which contains an svg path element called "curveto". Then I convert this to a dxf file http://www.nabble.com/file/p16227108/testin.dxf testin.dxf using the Inkscape export routine "Desktop Cutting Plotter" output, which contains a dxf entity called SPLINE, then I convert this back to the svg file http://www.nabble.com/file/p16227108/testout.svg testout.svg using the kabeja program. I anticipate getting back the original path element called "curveto", but instead I get back a multi-segmented line which uses many instances of the svg path element "lineto", not "curveto". Is it possible to modify the usage of kabeja so that the original "curveto" usage will be retained?
