How to export SVG from Blender 2.80?

[saiko]

I would like to export SVG from Blender to use in Inkscape.
I’ve installed the Import/export SVG addon but unable to find the option to export.
Could anyone help?

Use this one… it’s what I use at work:

SVG output script

Hi, here is a script I’ve been playing with for a while: the idea is to get some quick vector output from Blender to feed Inkscape. It is not meant to be a NPR solution -as Freestyle will be- but you can still do some basic tricks. And it is pretty useful for simple shapes and so… I also tried to add a few abstract and geometric stuff into the mix. Script will export current viewport -think a screen capture application- to a SVG file. Works with meshes and curves. I suggest you to open the svg …

Thank you for the reply. Really appreciate it.
That script is very useful. But I am looking for something that can export spline - this one breaks it into small segments like this:

saiko if you enable the ‘Bezier Overlay’ setting bezier curves will be exported as a separated object, will need to do some basic cleanup later… don’t remember a way to skip mesh export

Thank you Ricky for the reply. Here is the file:

Hi Liero. Thank you so much for making the SVG Export script, although I am not able to get the simple original spline/bezier but I think your script would be really useful for many other purpose. I feel it should be part of default Blender Addons.

I tried Bezier overlay but it’s not creating any curve in the exported curve.

I have some questions regarding your SVG Export script but I will post them to your original thread soon so that others looking for similar answers could also find it in one place.

hi saiko, just tried exporting from your file, the bezier curve is there, over the other stroke
it’s a bit hidden but if you zoom enough you will see it, or move things around…
just remember the ‘Bezier Overlay’ setting, and that it won’t work for nurbs
