Hi everyone, I'm starting to study bonsai these days. I encountered a problem viewing svg files. When I view them from Firefox I can see the dimensions in the correct scale. However, in other programs such as the Affinity suite they have an incorrect scale. Do any of you know how to get around this issue. maybe it is possible to convert svg to pdf directly in bonsai? Thank you

Hello! I use Inkscape happily and you can use it for pdf creation.

thanks so much for the reply. I tried with Inkspace and the display is correct. However, I think that the possibility of exporting PDF files would be useful

In the bonsai preferences you can set the program that creates pdfs from drawings.

This feature is really useful. this way I can link pdf drawings to files and share them easily. thank you!!

I unfortunately can't get it to work, on my side, now. ha.

same for me. It doesn't work. I also tried inserting the entire inkspace's directory but nothing...
