The only time dots per inch is referenced or used is when you are using a raster/pixel drawing made up of dots. The only option was the DXF which is just an ASCII text file. Yes 40 years ago the modern XML svg 1.1 encoding didn’t exist. I have been a computer designer, coder and computer systems technician since 1990’s. SVG is pretty useless for exchanging geometry in the industries I am involved in - the DXF-file-format may be 40 years old, but it is still THE standard in the manufacturing industry, for flattened sheet-metal-drawings for instance. Then you may apply these values during the import process or after it (if the converter allows to change that - the Shapr3D team would have to give this options in order to make that work properly during an import-process). If you exported the SVG-File yourself you may know about used units and resolution. You won’t find any information on the used resolution (DPI) during the export or the used unit (mm, m, inch, px, etc.) - that is why receiving the correctly scaled geometry out of these online-converters is like gambling (their algorithms do not give you ability to change their hardcoded assumptions for units and resolution). SVG is neither a standard in the CAD-industry nor the machine- and plant-engineering-industry - and there is a reason for that:ĭid you ever have a look inside a SVG-File? Just open it with an editor! The only unit the SVG-Format knows is pixels. Could you please elaborate what is “Industry” for you? Graphic-Design-Industry?
