    I have an Inkscape file with a 3 pointed star. I click on the object and do the Object to Path routine. When I import the file into Tinkercard, I don't see the 3 pointed star. What am I missing?

    Thank you...

    Delete the transparent stroke from the triangle (the left side is not vertical aligned - if you don´t mind me saying) and try again. I wasn´t going through the whole file as there are many invisible objects that may confuse Tinkercad. So I´d go just with the content of the canvas - nothing else. What Tinkercad expects as a valued file format is beyond me as I can´t find any info about it in a reasonable time.

    Hmmm...I deleted all the other hidden layers except for the borderlayer. I then deleted the transparent keystroke but that didn't change anything inside Tinkercad.

    I see your little animation but I don't follow what you're doing?

     

    Thank you...

    That´s just drawing an equal triangle with holding ctrl to maintain alignment. But I found the path is not closed if that matters.

    I still have no idea what TinkerCAD expects. SVG or dxf or PDF?

    The Path does need to be closed. And I did that so maybe I'm not doing that correctly. Tinkercad wants the Path closed from the other layers I've imported into Tinkercad.

    I'll try again.

    I´ll stay tuned...
