Ability to select Circles and Lines and use line thickness as filled path

[brantwedel]

Need a way to select lines with thickness, and shapes from svg files.

I came across this when exporting from Fritzing, it uses circles and lines to represent pads and traces on pcbs.

Found some resources and made a prototype that converts all shapes/lines to filled paths so I could convert my pcb designs, will try to make a PR after some cleanup:

To "flatten" svg shapes to paths: https://gist.github.com/timo22345/9413158

To expand unclosed stroked paths/lines to filled paths: http://microsoft.github.io/maker.js/docs/advanced-drawing/#Outlining%20a%20model

Use Inkscape to transform your SVG. It's loaded with helpful things such as Object to Path and Stroke to Path.

Yep, started with that, for complex pcb designs it is a bit of a hassle, luckily my prototype works well enough for my purposes, thanks.
