Inkscape SVG to FreeCAD





On a bit of a roll with videos this week! After I put up the video about the longworth chuck mechanism as a robot gripper, a follower on twitter enquired about how I had approached importing an Inkscape SVG file into FreeCAD (which I had done due to laziness as I didn't want to totally redraw the longworth mechanism)! Seeing as he asked nicely I did this little walk-through. As I mention in the video, its a useful fix but its definitely preferable to only use this when needed as directly working in FreeCAD using sketches is more dependable. Hope it's useful. If it is do feel free to show your support via my ko-fi page here!
