Why this simple SVF doesn't convert #25

Closed emard closed 6 years ago

This is a short svg logo I'd like to convert:

https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datoteka:Kon%C4%8Dar_Logo.svg

svg2mod creates a kicad mod file but in this file thera are no drawing objects (file appears as empty).

Can you help to convert it?

Hello! You have to put it on a layer named SilkS or Cu or something else depending what layer you want. Here you go: https://cloud.monostable.co.uk/kon.kicad_mod

For simple logos like this it might be easier to use the PNG and use KiCad's built in bitmap2component tool. For more complicated graphics with multiple layers, to avoid having to make sure everything is a full separated enclosed path, I would recommend Inkscape with svg2shenzhen.

Thanx, with proper layer name svg2mod works wonderful!

Absolutely (actually wasn't issue at all)
