Need help to convert sketchup to inkscape
I purchased plans for a bumper that are in sketchup format. I have tried for 2 weeks to figure out how to send it to inkscape where I can convert it to Gcode for my plasma table. Not getting any help from the business I purchased it from. I'm willing to pay some one to convert the file for me. If you can send me a message I will send you the file I recieved. Thanks in advance

Re: Need help to convert sketchup to inkscape
Have you tried to use Cloud convert, if it is a DXF file I load then into QCAD (free download) and then save them in R18 DXF from QCAD then Inkscape will import that file, or SheetCam if you have that.

Re: Need help to convert sketchup to inkscape
You may want to read this info about Sketchup, It does talk about a free upload and then convert to DWG to load into Inkscape.
