Hi,

after import from DXF the paths are cutted in a random order (at least with inkcut).

Is there an easier way to order the sub paths than using an extension like "removeduplicatenodes" by Ellen Wasbo ?

I attached the dxf, a screenshot of inkcut without any post processing, and a screenshot after post processing with the removeduplicatenodes extension.

Hi.

Connecting all loose parts don´t work?

Not sure if my DXF export work at all and can not check. I attached an R14dxf and the SVG.

When I take your dxf file, select all (Ctrl+A), combine all (Ctrl+K) and apply the removeDuplicateNodes extension with the selections as shown in the attachment I get one continuous path. Can you replicate that? Or is there some version or OS differences (I'm on Windows 10 using Inkscape 1.1)

You don´t need to call an extension for that: select all - take Node tool - select all nodes (by drawing an rectangle around all) - go "join selected nodes" - done.

That is true - my extension is to overcome when the nodes are not exactly overlapping. I forgot to check that and focused on potential issues on my extension. Simply "Join selected nodes" is a lot easier in this case.

Hello Ellen,

sorry for the misunderstanding. Your extension works great. Thanks for it !

I was wondering if the DXF Import could create already fixed paths on its own.
Which seems to work with the 'join nodes' switch.
