TechDraw ExportPageSVG

Description

The TechDraw ExportPageSVG tool saves the current drawing page as an SVG file.

Usage

  1. If there are multiple drawing pages in the document: optionally activate the desired page by selecting it in the Tree view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Export Page as SVG button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Page → Export Page as SVG option from the menu.
    • If a page is displayed in the Main view area: right-click the page's window and select the Export SVG option from the context menu.
  3. If there are multiple drawing pages in the document and you have not yet activated a page, the Page Chooser dialog box opens: (v0.20)
    1. Select the desired page.
    2. Press the OK button.
  4. The Export page as SVG dialog box opens.
  5. Select a location and file name.

Notes

  • TechDraw Hatch patterns are not exported to SVG due to a limitation in Qt4's SVG support.
  • Text positions and sizes are not correct in the exported file. Using the "system" default font in the drawing improves the size problem considerably.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The SaveSVG tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following functions:

TechDrawGui.exportPageAsSvg(DrawPageObject,FilePath)
``` Note that the FreeCADGui module must be active to use this function.
