Hi, I've ben experimenting with svg file import. It seems that openscad does not render svg text. e.g. <svg xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" > <style>.small{ font: 12px sans-serif; fill: black; }</style> <text x = "212.000" y = "173.000" class = "small">not in openscad</text> </svg> displays fine in a browser, or image viewer, but not in openscad. Is there any simple way around this, or any other 'gotchas' with openscad and svg Thanks Ray

It even includes JavaScript support for animation and other things. For text, the workaround can be to convert the text to a path in Inkscape (I suppose other tools support that too) That said, text support is possible but quite complicated due to the full SVG text specification being very strange. I started implementing this, if it will ever be finished, I don't know. ciao, Torsten.
