Below is an explanation with illustrations on how to use the converter itself.
To the right is an illustration which shows the "SVG to COPP converter".
The converter is easy to use, and you will be able to have your drawing/illustration in VIGO6 in a couple of minutes, if you have followed the instructions above.
Instructions for using the converter
Resolution
Resolution is the first thing to choose when you import a SVG file to the converter. The converter tells you which DPI is used in both Inkscape and Illustrator. Therefore, we advise you to choose according to which program you use. Otherwise, size in accordance with original file will be different.
Scale
Next is to choose if you want a different scale than the input SVG file provide. Choose, as you like.
Default length
Default lenght unit is default [mm], and you can change it to your liking, according to the quantity you choose in VIGO6.
Import
To import the SVG file itself press the big "Load SVG file" button and use the windows window to navigate to the fill and press open.
When you import a SVG file to the converter, you get the chance to choose where you want the "Origo" to be. In other words, where you want the drawing/illustration to align. You have 9 different align options. The red "crosshair" show the align position you have selected.
To the right of "Origo" you will be getting up to date x,y length information in wanted length unit. In effect, when you update scale, then x,y length is updated as well. In this example we have showed it in [mm].
Copy and paste
Under "Origo" there is one more big button. You can use the button to copy the result to your clipboard. Afterwards, you can paste the result into VIGO6 and view it.
Preview
In the middle of the converter window, you will be provided with a "preview" of how the end result will look in VIGO6.
Last, at the bottom is the COPP code displayed, which is the result that you have copied to the clipboard with the button above.
