One of the most common uses of Scan2CAD is conversion from PDF to DXF. The first thing to consider is which type of file you converted to DXF. “I’ve lost the scale information after converting my file to DXF”

To help you tackle them, we’ve put together this list of some of the most common mistakes made during the conversion process – and what you can do to avoid them. Sometimes, though, you may run into a few problems. In most cases, just following our quick guide to converting an image to DXF should get the job done. After all, the CAD/CNC file you require should only be a few mouse clicks away. Hopefully ~suv will reply, because I seem to recall that she's had some solutions for you in the past.When it comes to DXF conversion, you want it to be as quick and painless as possible. Not that I know whether it matters, but that's one of the things I would do, to try to learn more about the problem. Out of curiosity, can you select that code? If you can, what does the status bar say about it? Also, after you select it, open the XML Editor. For some reason, I'm thinking you might be on a Mac? But if you could let us know that info, it might help to identify if this might be some kind of bug. But I apologize that I can't remember your system info. I know you've posted several messages in this forum, and I remember that they are all interesting questions. Maybe it's not a vector object, or is something Inkscape doesn't recognize? Have you tried open/importing a few times, and it's replaced with code every time? Is it the same code every time? The drawing that was replaced with code, do you know how it was made? It seems that Inkscape could not display it for some reason. If imported, did you link or embed? Honestly, I don't know if any of that matters, but to my simple way of thinking, it seems they might.

I know you said you imported DXF file, but just in case there might be a problem with language translation, I want to ask if you opened or imported (File menu > Open, or File menu > Import).
