Re: [Inkscape-user] convert .svg or bitmap to .dxf

I know that there is at least one utility that will convert .dxf to .svg. However, is there one that will convert going the other way, from .svg (or a bitmap) to .dxf? I am looking for something open source, if possible. I have found a couple of shareware windows only programs.

I think that utility you heard of is pstoedit - http://www.pstoedit.net/ From what I see from its website, it can generate DXF too. From conversion from bitmap to a vector format, you may need to trace it first (with the Inkscape built-in functions or potrace from command line).
