    Hello i am trying to get an SVG to load to Design space.   I have tried the following:

    1) traced the objects - would not load

    2) Make a bitmap - Did this but made the objects blurry.

    Here is the file that i am trying to upload to design space.   Any help would be appreciated.


    Here is the info that i have:

    Inkscape 1.1 (c68e22c387, 2021-05-23)

    Windows 7 machine.

    Thanks,


    Jason

    "Design Space" is up what to do with your mix of bitmap, editable text and vector data?

    What you´re doing with the Inkscape file in "Design Space"? You´re saying:" i am trying to get an SVG to load to Design space." But you have a mix of bitmaps, text objects and vector data. I´m not familiar with DS so I´m asking.

    Ah,  I am importing it in to Design space so i can use the print and cut feature on the cricut.    This allows me to print on my home printer then the cricut will cut it to the shape i the design.   I need it pretty accurate as it is the back to an amp meter.

    Did quick Google search. "Cricut Design Space" - see these links below. You can also find Youtube videos about interacting between Inkscape and Cricut Design Space.

    Hello all,

    I decided to make it very big in inkscape and make a bit map then shrink that large Bitmap to a smaller one.  That eliminated the blurriness of just converting the small image to a bit map.   I was then able to import that into Design Space.  

     

    Thanks!

    Design space does not support importing SVGs that have any raster images included. Those raster images have to be imported separately.
