I am not too good in inkscape. I'm wondering if their is an easy way to convert gsd files to svg?

gsd files are not easy. I use RoboMaster software to print as a pdf and from that I save as png, then open in SCAL and trace. The hard part about gsd files is that the have double lines that can sometimes be hard to work with...I have had to delete several sections.

You can also just open the pdf directly in Inkscape. I have problems with pdf[s] and Inkscape...sometimes pdfs will lock INk up...I have exported the pdf as a png in INk and then trace in iNK.

If you are going to do it, I suggest doing it at a time when you have time to spend and no aggravation.

Let me know if I can hekp further.
