path2openscad now works without saving the file

Deb packages for inkscape 0.92 only!

Inkscape has no version info in the document, unless it was at least saved once. This extension now works without that (assuming a modern inkscape with 96 dpi).
Previous releases would crash in that case.

path2openscad deb package is now installable without openscad package

Relaxed the hard deb requires on openscad to 'openscad | bash' as openscad is currently not packaged for Ubuntu-18.14 - Linux users, please install the appimage from http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html

Added option line_width_scale and option chamfer

SVG files without a viewBox attribute have an internal px/mm confusion. The display unit can only be temporarily switched to mm, while the rulers always remain in px. In this situation, a line width of 1mm is exported as 3.78mm
The new line_width_scale option allows to correct this inkscape bug by scaling to 26.46 %

Option chamfer can be used to add a nice bevel to the extruded objects.

merged module patch, renamed Height,Raise to Zsize,Zoffset

v0.24

V0.24: Renamed Height to Zsize, Raise to Zoffset

inkscape to openscad converter for simple 3D objects

fix: rectangles with x=0 were not rendered.

paths2openscad with split packages per lang

pid file processing fixed. We now start a new instance of openscad only when needed.
If you openscad does not refresh, please check that the option "Design" -> "Automatic Reload and Preview" is enabled.

paths2openscad starts openscad more reliably

In case openscad does not start, there is probably another copy running. Try change the filename or stop the oher copy.

paths2openscad now better honors invisible objects

style="display:none" or visibility="hidden" attributes did not work correctly. Fixed that. Now it should work to make an entire layer invisible, to not export any of its objects to openSCAD.

The 3D-extension got an updated GUI - with syntax cheat sheet

and bugfixes: support silly style="" attributes generated by inkscape-0.91 no need to crash in that case...

GUI cleanup and 3DViewer option added

Refactored the commands into a separate tab in the inx for a much cleaner user interface.
Parse description option now defaults to true.
Added 'View in OpenSCAD' feature with pidfile for single instance.

Do you know the new scale feature? Make cones and sloped walls!
