Sometimes it helps to be senile. I accidently imported a document without converting the text to a path first.
Loaded it in and said "Huh?"
I think with the release of 1.3.2 I "accidently" imported an Inkscape document with a spiral that wasn't converted to a path.
Again, I loaded it in and said "Huh?". That is when I discovered that it will take stars, ellipses, 3d Boxes, rectangles without converting to path first. Afterall - those are actually defined in SVG.
Fusion has gotten so good with SVG import that I don't even bother with DXF anymore. What is really fantastic is I don't even bother exporting out as "vanilla" SVG. Fusion will suck in those Inkscape documents directly with no issues. It can handle the transform matrix with no problems at all. So I use transform behavior set to "preserved" to prevent the dreaded "accumulated rounding" errors.
Using Inkscape with Other Programs Fusion 360 and Text !!!

Ok - my mind has been completley blown.
Did you know that you can import Inkscape text objects into Fusion 360 DIRECTLY WITHOUT CONVERTING TO A PATH FIRST?
Ok - ready for the next quake? Every font I threw at Fusion worked!
I must have been in a coma the last 2+ years. Anyone know when this became possible?
Did not know that!

Ok - now I am really impressed. Not only can you directly import any text, you can go back into the sketch and edit the text directly.
