Inkscape extension crashes

[Chris D]

I’m very new to the Axidraw: attempting to preview my second ever plot via Inkscape, the extension crashes with the message below.

The SVG file I’m trying to send was generated by custom software: it loads into Inkscape without any errors or warnings.

I’m running Inkscape 1.2 on Arch Linux, with version 3.3.0 of the AxiDraw extensions.

Error message:

Can you please share the SVG that is causing this?

[Chris D]

I’ve tried to post the SVG file, but my posts keep disappearing. I’ll try again later.

[Windell Oskay]

I’d suggest following up with support by email or in our support Discord; attachments are much easier in either of those ways.

[Chris D]

OK — I’ve sent an email via the axidraw.com website.

Windell sent me the fix for this. My plot had a background colour rectangle with no x,y coordinates: I changed

<rect width=”100%” height=”100%” fill=”white”/>

to

<rect x=”0″ y=”0″ width=”100%” height=”100%” fill=”white”/>

and the crash went away.
