Beginners' Questions Pattern doesn't show in SVG File (Fusion 360)

    Hello,

    I am pretty new to the Inkscape Community, so i hope my Question is not to ... stupit. I designt an repeatable Pattern and "duplicated" it with "Retangle Tool" and then "Fill and Stroke" -> "Fill" -> "Pattern" Function.
    But now i am stuck with the following Problem:
    I can't export the Pattern to an SVG that show up in Fusion 360. It is just blank. If i opened the Export in Inkscape it looks fine.

    I tried to convert the Objekt to an Path ("Path" -> "Objekt to Path"), i created an Bitmap Copy ("Edit" -> "Make a BItmap Copie") and i tried converting the Bitmap to an Path (but that doesn't work).

    If i insert an Text and "Objekt to Path" it, then it works but just for the Text.
    So i guess it don't making an mistake, when i export the File. I tried both "Simple SVG" and "Inkscape SVG" with the same result.

    When i tried the same with the original Sketch, it also didn't work...

    I hope someone can help me :)

    Fusion SVG import is quite extensive, however it does not accept SVG patterns. (maybe in the future????)

    Not sure if this will help you but I do use the following tech to do basically the same thing:

    Not sure which pattern you used but I found something similar. Came out ok in Fusion. You have to be careful with this concept with Fusion. It is too much computations. Be best to simply import the pattern into Fusion then do a rectangular pattern array inside of Fusion. 

    BTW - Fusion will import Inkscape documents directly. It is not necessary to export out as SVG because Inkscape documents are SVG. Fusion is very good at importing Inkscape documents directly. Fusion understands rectangles, ellipses, spirals, star/polygons, symbols, SVG transforms (scale, rotate, matrix).

    Thank you for your fast reply!
    I tried to get it working... But with no sucess.

    I Designt the Logo by my selfe.
    On Youtube the Tutorial is called "Geometry tricks that make interesting patterns | Inkscape Tutorial" (I don't know if i am allowed to post Links here.)
    It is more or less like the following: With the "Ellipse/Arc Tool" -> "No Filling" -> "Stroke Paint" to an Color -> "Stroke Style" made the  "Width" bigger -> Copied them with "Ctrl + D" a bunch of times -> selected to Design with the "Shape Builder Tool"
    Your "Intersecting A Pattern Filled Object" Guide didn't work for my Pattern it seems...

    I really don't want to save it as a Picture and then convert it to an SVG... The Quality is just bad :(

    Uh thank you for your Tipps!
