SVG export scale issues

Need help? We are here.

Hallo all

I can’t seem to get shapr3d to scale my svg export correctly. No matter what DPI I enter when exporting, the svg has the same dimensions. I’m testing it in Inkscape right now. If I export a 10mm x 10mm square its dimensions in Inkscape is 42mm no matter what the dpi value is? It also adds a brim that is a couple of mm away from the actual edge which also ads to the whole thing being wrongly scaled. In the screenshot I’ve use dpi of 30 and of 300. Same size?

Is it just not possible to use shapr3d if I need svg files? Or what am I doing wrong?

Kind regards

Joans

SVG exports from Shapr3D use real-world units (mm), so DPI doesn’t affect the size. Inkscape may scale it based on its default settings (usually 96 DPI), which causes the mismatch.
