I used (Dec. 2019) to be able to draw things (squares, circles, unextruded text) in 2D, render them, and export to SVG.  I tried today with both OpenSCAD 2021 and with 2023.3 and now I get a complaint that the top level object is 2D.  The complaint is valid, but why would I be exporting a 3D object to stl?  I even opened one of my old files that I laser cut in the past and it too will no longer export as SVG.  Does anyone know a way around this?
Thanks,
Lenore

Nevermind!!!! User error.  Can't hit the right button (several times in a row).  Should go back to sleep and try again later.
