On my Ubuntu 20 system with Inkscape installed via snap, the script is executed as follows: /usr/bin/python3 /snap/inkscape/current/share/inkscape/extensions/dxf_outlines.py -output=file.dxf file. Looking at the source of dxf_outlines.py, the docstrings confirm that this script effectively outputs the R14 format: Inkscape, the free vector drawing program Inkscape bug 192923, Desktop Cutting Plotter (.dxf) output generates unreadable SPLINE Inkscape bug 220025, typos/errors in simpletransform.py (closed as duplicate of 241565) Inkscape bug 241565, parseTransform () in simpletransform. Commonly used file types: SVG, DXF, Ai (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, PDF. I then learned that the Inkscape extensions live in their separate repository at. Our laser cutter workstation has Corel Draw and Inkscape.

It can be used for creating designs for the laser cutter (by exporting to DXF). Msgstr 'Desktop-Schneideplotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (*.dxf)' Inkscape is a brilliant free and open-source software program for creating 2D vector graphics. Msgid 'Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R14) (*.dxf)' Msgstr 'Desktop-Schneideplotter (AutoCAD DXF R12) (*.dxf)' Msgid 'Desktop Cutting Plotter (AutoCAD DXF R12) (*.dxf)' I had the same question and downloaded the Inkscape source from in order to understand the internal mechanisms.Ī full-text search for R12 and R14 revealed that these formats are exported using Inkscape extensions, dxf12_outlines and dxf_outlines, respectively (output shortened): $ grep R12 po/de.po -C 1
