    Hi,

    Inkscape Noob here.  I've got an SVG file that I want to import into FreeCad.  I can import it, but it's importing with a fill.  I've turned off the fill and have the stroke set to 1 pt.

    Here's what the file looks like in Inkscape.

    Here's what the svg looks like when first imported into FreeCad.

     

     

     

     

    I just want it to import the edges, and not bring in the fill.  Any and all advice is welcome.

     

    Thanks,

    Not sure if this will work for you. Fill color opacity was set to 0 instead of 100:

    Thanks, but that didn't work.

    Please describe in greater detail how you want to use the design.

    The design will be print on a 3D printer and used as a stencil for painting.

    Then I guess you´ll need something like this with some supporting bridges:

    Kind of.  But more like this.  Once I import it I can add the bridges and handles where I want.  Perhaps stencil isn't the best word, but more of a combination stamp/stencil where I can fill each area with a different color of paint.

    Okay - If I got it this time it´s probably like an airbrush stencil:
