Comment 6 for bug 1168498

thanks for the files, ~suv

There appears to be a scaling problem of some sort, and possibly a clipping problem, related to the use of the 'use' command and the 'xlink:href' references. I was not able to get reasonable results using the automatic scaling feature of the dxf import. In one case it also appeared that IE8 had actually clipped off about a third of the image, I don't know why.

The best I was able to do is the attached svg file, which views correctly in IE8 and IE9. This was done using recent trunk version, with manual scaling, and scale factor = 2, y-origin = -100 mm. The latest version of the import code can be obtained by downloading the files dxf_input.py and dxf_input.inx from the site:

and saving them in the directory \Inkscape\share\extensions\
