Interaction between svg and gear.3.rb plugins #8

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download http://video.suplugins.com/download/gear.3.rb, place in plugin dir
2. Draw->Involute gear to draw a gear
3. Select gear, explode. Select resulting gear face. 
4. Export with svg plugin
5. Import into inkscape. 

The gear won't be converted correctly. The outline is all messed up.

I'm not saying this is a bug, but it would be nice if I could create a gear
in sketchup using it's dimensional accuracy. I could then export it to
inkscape to print on the Epilog at work.

It's the same Problem i mentioned in Issue 9. Curves are only approximated by 
line
segments. If you export a really big gear, around 400mm, it looks fine.
But when you try to export a small one, around 10mm, the curves become ugly 
because
of the relation between the length and the thickness of the segments.
