BUG: SVG export

[KimA998]

I maybe be wrong, but I don´t think so.

When exporting an object as SVG in LayerLink (LL), LL is looking from the top view and then exporting all what it "see" (The silhouette of the object). I this case I will say, that the SVG fil e is no longer a 2 dimensional file but a file converted from 3D to 2D.

I my opinion LL should ONLY look on what of the object that is actually touching the work plane from 0.00 to 0.01 mm. I this case the SVG export file will make a correct 2D file.

You can see what I mean in the file - this is the wrong way to export a SVG. Blue box is the SVG result reimported.

A solution could be having both versions as an option in LL. I can´t use the SVG export the way it is right now!

I found what I was asking for under section view, but it would be nice if you could make an option to export touching workplane in SVG export.

It´s a bit difficult to do in section view.

@KimA998 Thank you, good point. The SVG export now has a choice under View: "Silhouette from above" as before, or "Footprint on the workplane", which writes only the outlines where the objects stand on the workplane. With your file, the tilted red box now gives just the 20 x 20 mm it stands on instead of the 40 x 20 mm seen from above. This comes with the next release.

@KimA998 The SVG footprint is out with 1.98.0: Export → SVG → View → "Footprint on the workplane".
