[SVG]

Dimensions in SVG are in arbitrary units, with no fixed relationship to real-world units (such as mm). To make a correctly-sized 2.5D shape for Tinkercad requires some spoofing to get a file that Tinkercad will accept.

1.     Before starting a design in AD, go to the Document Setup tab (upper left of the UI).

2.     In the dialog, set the DPI to 25.4 (you may recognize this number), then OK.

3.     Design your shape at the required size in mm (object dimensions are at lower right in UI).

4.     When your design is complete, select File | Export and choose SVG.

5.     In the first dialog select the SVG (for export) preset then hit the More button

6.     In the next dialog, make sure Use Document Resolution is checked. Leave all the lower option boxes unchecked, except for Flatten Transforms (unchecking this won’t change the eventual result, but the SVG file will be a bit more complicated).

7.     Click Close, then Export.

8.     Import the SVG file into Tinkercad. Your shape should appear on the XY plane at the correct size, extruded by 10mm in the Z direction. It’s now a 3D shape that can be manipulated like other shapes in Tinkercad.

OMG You are a GOD!!!!!! This answer should be pinned in golden/fire letters in the forum!!!!

THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!

I have been struggling with tinkercad, affinity designer, inkscape, code editors... maybe 24 hours in 3 days.

At first I could not import to tinkercad : (see image attached). And It was a 24x 123 mm "piece" (but the file was 300 dpi, as before I used to print it in cardboard to make a template to cut leather ). 

After searching on google and reddit a lot I found a semi workaround using inkscape (and resizing in tinkercad to get it the right size but my "OCD" nedded a "cleaner" solution )and then I came here and found this: 

 So I started playing with the svg code in a code editor.... and changing units, the viewbox,etc (I even started reading the fracking svg specification and I´m not a coder) Some advancemets were made but the dimensions always were a bit off when importing to tinkercad and then your magic number !!!!! 25.4 dpi

I even was about to file a bug report!!!!

PD: Now my OCD wants to be able to make a custom preset with this DPI but the 25.4 gets rounded to 25 when I create it!!!!!! GRRRRRRR

[Expand stroke not smooth]

Thanks very much. That works better. 

 

[Expand stroke not smooth]

Hi, I have a problem. I have a logo and some parts of it are made of strokes. I want to expand them to curves but when I use the expand stroke command the curves on the stroke become not smooth. Any solutions? The logo it´s like a flower and don't want to manual touch every point or use the pen tool to trace every stroke.

 I have tried the convert smooth button but I what I get is not good too.

I´m using The RC1

 

Thanks

 

 

After the smooth curves button:
