Upon exporting a “Detail” layout as an R10 (70.0 KB) , R10 AAMA, R11/12, or R11/12 AAMA, when opening it in Inkscape I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dxf_input.py", line 530, in <module>
inkex.errormsg(_('%d ENTITIES of type POLYLINE encountered and ignored. Please try to convert to Release 13 format using QCad.') % polylines)
NameError: name '_' is not defined
However, LibreCAD opens it without trouble, (though its completely off center,) & if centered & saved, the freshened file XpatternR10_1.dxf (49.6 KB) opens in Inkscape without issue.
Both files have the same name, since I merely saved, not saved as.
Oh, I’m not (yet) personally interested in it, I’m just morbidly curious about any new thing, & happened to run across an issue while I was poking at it.
Ok… I took a look at several versions of Seamly2D w/ different pattern versions and even an even older version of the same pattern in Valentina… here’s what I found:
Inkscape only seems to “import” ( not open) an R3/R14 or any of the 2000-2013 AAMA formatted files without throwing an error. It does open SVG’s ok.
Other CAD programs I have will open or import any DXF version Seamly2D exports.
My conclusion: Unless there are other (CAD) programs that are having an issue opening any of the Seamly2D/Valentina DXF formats when they should - It’s an Inkscape issue. In other words… if you have an R10/11/12 DXF that Inkscape opens… then there could be a DXF export issue.
When you posted this issue my first thought was I introduced some error with the notches… so I’m a bit relieved to see that’s not the case. Whew.
BTW… I made the point a little while ago there are still a few things I want to fix with how the notches are getting rendered. You can see in a closeup scree cap of your pattern where there’s a little glitch in the notch not ending where the “non straight” seam line and notch intersect.
Here’s your pattern “imported” in Inkscape… no centering issue - you can then move, resize, or rotate the imported group of objects.
