Export SVG from Kicad¶

Kicad 9 was recently released. And it looked like the export or plot settings to SVG files changed.

The work around is this:

We need to export or plot the upper copper layer and the edge cut:

• Plot the traces:

• Check the F.Cu in the “Include Layers” section as the Edge.Cuts in the “Plot on all layers” section.

• Open the export SVG in Inkscape:

• Go to: File –> Document Properties

• Tick “Resize to content”

• Delete the edge cut

• Save to SVG file

Repeat all steps for the edge cuts:

• Import SVGs in mods
