SVG does not import into processing window #34

Hello Rick,

I built a plotter using your code and everything went very well. I have no problem uploading and plotting from raster images. However, when I upload an SVG file the UI screen remains blank and the machine does not move when I plot. I have checked with a few SVG files, and opened them in other programs to ensure they have data in them.

EDIT: I have found this to only be an issue when exporting from Adobe programs and Inkscape. From Rhino3D I get the vectors to load in

thank you for sharing your work and making a tool like this available to everyone!

The parsing of the svg only supports simple paths. You may need to convert any objects to paths in whatever svg program you use. Then save as svg 1.0 format
