SVG Newbie - Help Needed

Slingshot Bugs/Issues
1

Hey guys, I’m a pretty solid AutoCAD user but am struggling with creating SVG files. Working daily with AutoCAD & industrial CAM software to generate G-code for large industrial CNC plasma, laser, oxyfuel, waterjets, & more.
I can create my .dxf shapes in CAD & import to Inkscape but seem to be missing the boat on steps before saving (as .svg) & importing the .svg into SlingShot. Apparently, it’s not a 1:1 import/export function.
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise this brand new unit will be up for sale soon.

*I’m definitely hoping for a .dxf import into SlingShot with the next version.

Hi SPerreault, this is definitely on our roadmap of features to be developed, but we do not yet have a precise indication of when will be possible to import dxf files on Slingshot.
