If you do not convert to a polyline in QCAD, it will open/import as a GROUP in inkscape, but will still be unconnected lines inside the GROUP and will not be able to be filled until the nodes are connected.
You do not need scale it upon opening or importing into Inkscape, but you do need to change the stroke to something very small (.001") for it to show the true dimension of 1" otherwise it shows a dimension of 1.010". I drew a 1"x1" box in QCAD using the rectangle function, converted it to a polyline, exported as an SVG using the advanced export (1" = 1") If you do not convert to a polyline, it will open/import as a bunch of unconnected lines that cannot be filled until the nodes are connected You must change the Stroke thickness to something small (.001") for it to show the true dimension of 1" If you OPEN or IMPORT the DXF into Inkscape and scale by 25.4 using the options tab, it shows up as square of dimension 1.011" as a closed entity that can have a fill applied to it Creating DXF file is as simple as taking your Inkscape drawing and File menu > Save As > DXF.I drew a 1"x1" box in QCAD using the rectangle function, converted it to a polyline and saved as a R27 (2013) DXF. It will be easier to edit the SVG with Inkscape, than editing the DXF file (as far as I understand, although I could be wrong about that). How to Draw a "Line" with Inkscapeīe sure to save an SVG file, before you save as DXF.
Here's a tutorial I wrote - very long, a lot of text to read, but it gives a good introduction to vector paths. Or you can use the Node tool and join the nodes of paths that aren't closed. If you click in the tiny box at the beginning of the path, it will close the path, and prevent having separate segments (unless you need an open path, for some reason - then double-click to end the path).
The Pen/Bezier tool is the ultimate vector path tool, and really most advanced Inkscape users and professionals use it predominantly.īriefly, you click where you want to place a node. If your drawing is all separate segments, it makes me wonder if you might be using the Pencil tool. To make precise drawings in Inkscape, I use either guides or a pixel grid and snapping. Might find some tutorials or instructions.
Also look into your hardware and software documentation.
