  1. Paolo, are you suggesting I buy the plug-in and try it as an experiment? I’m willing if there is a somewhat reasonable chance it will work. And if not I’ve been using the export plug-in from before day 1 (a tiny bit of beta-testing) and have gotten so much value out of it it would still be worth it.
  2. Would you be willing to sell me the 2020 compatible version with the understanding that there would be no guarantee or support of it working for me? I am willing to take the risk because importing SVG's is very time consuming at the moment and I can't justify the cost of current VW for what has become a non-income producing hobby.
  3. Pat, you are entirely correct that I use very few advanced features of 2020, thank you for pointing that out. Helpful for others.
  4. What do you think the future holds with respect to compatibility with older versions? I know the Italian distributor had an import SVG option (that you wrote) in 2019 or 2020 but I assume this is different. I have often wondered if the Italian distributor would sell the plug-in separately from VW.
  5. I am using 2020 very successfully on multiple WIN 11PRO version 22H2 and older PC's
  6. In addition to the above, I have found CloudConvert to be a reliable SVG to DFX path, then import DXF to VWX. An interesting use is to use the Shaper Trace Frame and a smartphone to create the SVG file from simple sketches and traced outlines of objects into VW files that I know of.
  7. pamarcu@creators.gumroad.com wrote both an Export and an Import utility for VW, I use the Export just about every day and it is trouble free. Unfortunately the Import he wrote is owned by the Italian VW distributor and unavailable from him, I've considered contacting that distributor but have not as yet, because Export is really all I need to transfer VW files in my CNC router. (I did a little original beta-testing) The SVG files are accurate far beyond needed for creating interference fit inlays. Cost is ~$25 pamarcu@creators.gumroad.com https://fitplot.it/vwplugins/exportSVG.html
  8. I understand that the Italian VW distributor includes an Import SVG plugin (VSM file) in the programs he sells, created by this developer: https://fitplot.it/vwplugins/exportSVG.html
  9. There is an inexpensive SVG export tool that works very well for me: https://fitplot.it/vwplugins/exportSVG.html The same author also wrote an Import SVG tool for the Italian VW distributor which I would like but can't get.
  10. Is it Windows? I am not any kind of Windows expert but Start menu/ All Programs/ Vectorworks/ open folder, right click on Vectorworks, select Open File Location. Scroll up to the folder Plugins. Create a new folder with any convenientt name example Export SVG. Place the plugin in that folder. Restart VW.
  11. I am using this plugin to export VW to SVG into the Shaper Origin tool and of all the options with different software such a Fusion 360, Inkscape, Adobe, etc this is by far the easiest and fastest way. Love it.
  12. Removed, downloaded, and reinstalled. Same error.Should I wait and see how it works for others or is this valuable to you? Don't want to waste your time if it's just me.
  13. Thanks, looked but did not see the instructions. I now have the comand in the Export menu but-
  14. Paolo, I have been using VW from I think 1986 (it was MiniCad 2 at that time) but have never before installed a plugin. I extracted to widows file path: C:\Program Files\Vectorworks 2020\Plug-Ins then restarted VW. Can you describe or point me to a description of the next steps? Thanks
  15. Hi Paolo, Thank you for your efforts. With the very first examples you sent most of the shapes worked fine, and I think you could consider reverting back to that format if you have added code that might not be required. I think you should complete the plugin and when I have it installed I think I can make it work. Looking forward to the final product.
