Inkscape OpenSCAD DXF Export

UPDATE: Posted version 3 which adds "total_minx", "total_maxx", "total_miny" and "total_maxy" as well as similar dims for each layer named "layername_minx" and so on.

UPDATE: Posted version 2 which works well in both Inkscape version 0.91 and 0.48.

Most of us have our favorite tools. One of mine is Inkscape. I'm no pro but I've been able to do what I need with it. Another of my favorites is OpenSCAD. The purpose of this thing is to make it easier to take something from Inkscape and use it in OpenSCAD.



The current steps you need to take to turn an SVG into an OpenSCAD usable DXF are the following:

1. Convert all objects to paths

2. Add extra points to paths

3. Convert paths to lines

4. Export to DXF



After all that you may use your SVG design in OpenSCAD, but then if you want to edit your design you are faced with two equally unpalatable options: edit the original design and go through the steps again, or edit the DXF directly.
