Is this documented somewhere?
What is "this"? SVG import in general?

It's not complete, but should cover most basic things.
import("C:\Users\willa\Desktop\Design_Into_3D-master\box\fingerjoint\magazine\5_16_radius_half.svg");
Without the actual file, it's not really possible to tell
what the issue could be.
ciao,
Torsten.
That circle is not at the origin. InkScape tries to do much that it
shouldn't do.
<circle r="20" cy="296.99997" cx="1.3322676e-15" id="path32"
style="opacity:0.662379;fill:#1fb801;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;stroke-width:3.05269;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-opacity:0.955645"
/>
cx and cy default to zero, just remove them and you will have a circle
centered at the origin.
InkScape is calling the bottom left of the viewspace the origin as it would
be in Cartesian geometry. The SVG working group, in its wisdom and bowing
to Adobe has adopted page display geometry which has an origin at the top
left.

What about the previous technique of exporting a .scad file from Inkscape
using an extension such as:
https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-paths2openscad
Does that still work in Inkscape 1.0?
I just downloaded Inkscape 1.0, putting it into a separate directory so I
can
run it in parallel. I did this because it looks like the Roland Cutstudio
extension is not compatible, or at least not mentioned in the release
notes or
Wiki.
I think the only way to tell if any given extension works is to either
look at the
repository or to try adding it to 1.0.
My first try at using 1.0 was pretty disappointing. I thought I'd try it
on a few
things, and got at least one very strange result. I first tried text.
After entering
it, changing the font, I tried to move it. I could only move it with the
keyboard,
and not with the mouse.
When I get a little more time, I will try it out in more depth, but so
far, I am
not impressed.

Posted the file to:
(It was written out of Inkscape 1.0 on Windows 10 build 1703)
Thanks for the link to the docs!
Will see what I can puzzle out.

ciao,

Shouldn't the tip be exactly at the origin if it is a milling bit?
