- could you attach the svg file you are trying to export to dxf?
- also, which version of Inkscape, see Help->About
- also, could you attach any error messages you are receiving?

thanks for the file.
- I know that in the past there were sometimes, on some OS, more than one dxf output routine. Did you choose the one that says File Type = Desktop Cutting Plotter (DXF R14)?
- on output there should be a popup dialog that looks like this. did you get this dialog?
- if you get this dialog, try the settings shown on the bitmap, to see if it makes any difference

[Luis Vásquez Rugama (lvaskz)]

Hi, yes i did all that you says, but i get this message:
"Failed to import the numpy or numpy.linalg modules. These modules are
required by this extension. Please install them and try again."
one library is missing. The inkscape.snap not come with this module, but
the inkscape flatpak did.

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

appears to be a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1729896

sounds like a packaging problem, but I cannot help with that, because I am on Windows

[Luis Vásquez Rugama (lvaskz)]

Where can I report this for Linux?

I have added on Ubuntu under the bug report, not sure if this will make a difference or not.

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

you might also consider asking a question at a location like this:
https://askubuntu.com/search?q=inkscape+snap

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

I'm sorry for the noise, import works normally.

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

But export is broken, tried to import DXF from librecad package (/usr/share/librecad/library/elektro/electric_appliances/elk43.dxf), saved it to SVG, then opened SVG and tried to export as DXF.

Got error:
"Failed to import the numpy or numpy.linalg modules. These modules are required by this extension. Please install them and try again."

Inkscape 0.92.2 (30a58d1, 2017-08-07).

[Hachmann (marenhachmann)]

This is a known issue, and will be fixed for 0.92.3

As far as I understand, it's already fixed in the inkscape snap that is available via the candidate channel.

@Ted: Right?

[Hachmann (marenhachmann)]

The OP has entered this bug report twice.
Marking the first one as a duplicate, because more people seem to be following this one.

[Hachmann (marenhachmann)]

Anyway, Luis, you can also install the package from the ppa, if you prefer. It has less issues with file access etc.:

https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable

[Ted Gould (ted)]

I believe this is fixed in master. If you want to try the snap from the master branch (there may be other bugs there) you can do:

$ snap refresh --edge inkscape
