Here's the problem as reported in a craft cutter newsgroup:
I read that I should be able to open svg files in Inkscape, save the file as
a dxf and then export it to Funtime. I downloaded Inkscape and opened the
svg file. When I try to save it as a dxf I get a message box titled "Desktop
Cutting Plotter" with "Enable Robo-Master Output" and a check mark. Whether
I do or do not check the box, my file saves as a Microsoft Picture It file
instead of a dxf file. I have the Craft Robo and Funtime software on my
computer, but only use the CR software for converting gsd files. Can anyone
help me?
I can't duplicate this exact problem, but when I loaded an SVG and did a
save as DXF, the DXF file was not acceptable to the 'Funtime' software
mentioned here. That particular application is.. er... fragile at best, so
it may not be recognizing an otherwise perfect DXF file. I've attached an
SVG file that I Ioaded into 0.47 and saved as DXF - which I then could not
import into the funtime cutting application. I'm at a second location where
I do some of this stuff, but I'm lacking a nmber of tools and applications
to do a better job of running this down. I'll be at my normal location in a
couple of days and can do a better job of reporting on this.
