Hi bradholland, if you are willing to share the SVG I could have a go at it.
same here...
./svg2mod.py -i '/home/samm/Downloads/certification-mark-master/templates/oshwa-2.4.svg' -o '.../OSHW_BACK_2CM.kicad_mod' --name 'OSHW_BACK_2CM' --format pretty
was the command i executed (full path was given in the actual program)
the result was a ".kicad_mod" file in the folder, but theres only the footprint name but not the actual file
and about the reversed file being generated as mentioned in the README...i didn't see that either since there's only 1 file generated at all.
also the -p PRECISION
argument, i don't really get the meaning...like what is the range etc.
plz help thx a lot!
here's the source svg if somehow helpful
oshwa-2.4.svg.zip
You didn't use a layer in the SVG. I put everything on a SilkS layer and converted with:
svg2mod -i oshwa-2.4.svg --format pretty -p 1.0
https://kaspar.h1x.com/oshwa-2.4.svg https://kaspar.h1x.com/oshwa-2.4.kicad_mod
The precison default seems to be 10.0 and will give jagged edges on some of the letters on your example. I am not sure what the units are either.
Okay thanks a lot @kasbah problem solved! So the conversion would only work if you put stuff into a layer. @bradholland u might wanna try this out and close the ticket if it works ;-)
I got the following error. I am using Inkscape version 0.92. I put my my drawing on SilkS
layer. It is kinda strange... I got the same error when converting the example given in examples/
folder. I am using Python 3.6.2. Am I missing something?
$ svg2mod -i FireMeUp.svg --format pretty -p 1.0

Hi @chaosAD, have you tried with Python 2, do you get the same error?
@kasbah had the same problem. rebuilding and reinstalling with python 2 solved it. many thanks!
Hey Guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask for suggestions or not.
I have several svgs that I have drawn and am trying to convert into kicad modules. Each time I try, i end up getting an empty footprint with just the svg2mod text and nothing else in the result.
I've tried my best to follow instructions to the letter, and even tried experimenting with diferent sizes to see if i was just trying to convert something that was too small.
This is the output I get (i'm on mac)
I have converted objects to paths, saved as inkscape svg, done the layer names and so at this point I am a bit lost...
in any case, thanks for making this tool!, Hopefully, I can get some results from it.
